Node Data Types

Nodes are defined by various different input and output data types.

When referencing a Node's data for use in another, the types must be compatible with each other.

Data Type Conversions

Data can be shared across Nodes as long as the types are Exact (expected) or are Compatible based on the following conversions:

TIP

You can view the data type by clicking on a Node and viewing the value within the parenthesis. This will be above the reference data dropdown menu.

INFO

String

Strings are compatible with:

• String
  • Choice: Variation of string.
  • Code: Variation of string.
• Bytes: Encoded as UTF-8 with lossy conversion (invalid characters are replaced with �).
• Bool: Converts to "true" or "false".
• Integer: Base-10 decimal encoding.

Bytes

Bytes are compatible with:

• String: Bytes as UTF-8 encoded.
• Bool: Converts to "true" or "false" in bytes.
• Integer: First converts to string type and then to bytes UTF-8 encoded.

Bool

Booleans are compatible with:

• Integer: Is true if integer is not zero - otherwise false.
• Bytes/String: Is true for "true", "on", "yes", and "1" - otherwise false.

Integer

Integers are compatible with:

• Bool: Is true if integer is 1 - false if 0.
• Bytes: Converted to string loosely, supports hex (0x), binary (0b), octal (0o), supports sign (+, -).
• String: Parsed from string, supports hex (0x), binary (0b), octal (0o), supports sign (+, -).
