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	Example
	A sequence of characters that is used primarily for textual data representation.	"hello world"
	A list of string values separated by commas.	"hello", "my", "name", "is", "John"
	Used to represent whole numbers without any fractional or decimal component. Integers can be positive, negative, or zero.	25
	A list of integer values separated by commas.	1, 2, 3, 4
	Used to represent real numbers with fractional parts, allowing for the representation of a wide range of values, including decimals.	1.2
	A list of float values separated by commas.	0.1, -1.0, 2.0
	Sequence of characters or encoded information that identifies the precise time at which an event occurred.	2024-05-17T14:30:00Z
	A list of timestamps separated by commas.	2024-05-17T14:30:00Z, 2022-10-19T14:30:04Z, 1998-04-10T14:49:00Z
	A fundamental data type in computer programming that represents one of two possible values: true or false.	true
	A list of boolean values separated by commas.	true, false, true
	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.	id,name,price 1,Apple,0.99 2,Banana,0.59 3,Cherry,1.29
	XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.	<Book> <Title>Example Title</Title> <Author>Author Name</Author> </Book>
	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.	{ "items": [ { "id": 1, "name": "Apple" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Banana" }, { "id": 3, "name": "Cherry" } ] }
	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.	name = Alice age = 30 city = Paris
	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.	/
