fix: ensure that event data can be an array, number, boolean or null (#281)

The schema incorrectly limits data values to only object and string. This is
incorrect, since JSON can be an array, boolean, a single number or null as well.

This commit modifies the schema to allow for array, boolean and null, and adds
tests.

Fixes: #280
