Please note that not all of these attributes are guaranteed to appear in a
response, for two reasons:

* This endpoint has evolved over time, so responses from older Zulip servers
  might be missing some keys (in which case a client should assume the
  appropriate default).
* If a `/server_settings` request is made to the root domain of a
  multi-subdomain server, like the root domain of zulip.com, the settings
  that are realm-specific are not known and thus not provided.

#### Example response

A typical successful JSON response for a single-organization server may look like:

{generate_code_example|/server_settings:get|fixture(200)}
