Available values for the type property:
Type
Description
records
Defines that this element represents a list of records.
If type is set to "records", there must be an "elements" property.
The "elements" property defines which data should be written per record.
string
Data is written as string.
Most of the time this will be used with "value" property to write fixed start, end or delimiter
text.
Text encoding should be UTF8 if there is nothing else specified in format properties.
float32
Data is written as floating point number.
This has a lot of formatting options (at least with "flexible" layout software)
See following section about format properties.
uint32
Data is written as integer.
This has a lot of formatting options (at least with "flexible" layout software)
See following section about format properties.
int32
Data is written as integer.
This has a lot of formatting options (at least with "flexible" layout software)
See following section about format properties.
uint16
Limits the output to two bytes in binary encoding, besides the binary limitation it acts like
uint32.
int16
Limits the output to two bytes in binary encoding, besides the binary limitation it acts like
int32.
uint8
Limits the output to one byte in binary encoding, besides the binary limitation it acts like
uint32.
int8
Limits the output to one byte in binary encoding, besides the binary limitation it acts like
int32.
blob
Data is written as a BLOB (byte by byte as if it came from the data provider).
(Binary Large Object)
Depending on the desired data format the user may tune his output data with further “format” properties.
