Data Types

Easily identify data types using the color legend

Since Onum can process any data type, you may be wondering how to identify which is which. See the color legend below:

Field type	Description
	A sequence of characters that is used primarily for textual data representation.
	A string representing a list of values separated by commas (e.g. hello,my,name,is,John)
	Used to represent whole numbers without any fractional or decimal component. Integers can be positive, negative, or zero.
	Sequence of characters or encoded information that identifies the precise time at which an event occurred. Format: 2024-05-17T14:30:00Z
	Used to represent real numbers with fractional parts, allowing for the representation of a wide range of values, including decimals. Format: 1.23456
	Fundamental data type in computer programming that represents one of two possible values: true or false.
	Characters that separate individual fields or columns of data. The delimiter ensures that each piece of data within a row is correctly identified and separated from the others.
	In a JSON, fields are represented by keys within objects, and the corresponding values can be of any JSON data type. This flexibility allows a JSON to represent structured data in a concise and readable manner, making it suitable for various applications, especially in web development and API communication.
	A simple and widely used file format for storing tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. In a CSV file, each line of the file represents a single row of data, and fields within each row are separated by a delimiter, usually a comma.
	A key-value pair is a data structure commonly used in various contexts, including dictionaries, hash tables, and associative arrays. It consists of two components: a key and its corresponding value.
	A literal data type, often referred to simply as a literal, represents a fixed value written directly into the source code of a program.
