WEEK 4 - DATA

Common Data Types

String

Bool

Int32

DateTime

TimeSpan

Object

GenericObject

Structured Data

1. DataTables
-> Common .NET format for Table Data. 
-> Preferred Data Type of UiPath for interacting with Spreadsheets
2. xlsx
-> An excel file. Good for getting data from users, or giving data back to them, but generally not the best option anywhere in between. 
-> You need to be careful of how Excel makes up it's mind about automatically setting data types when you enter new data into it
-> I've found that it's most reliable to save an empty template to your project, and then copy it for each new use. 
3. csv
-> Clearner than .xlsx for transferring basic data in a single table. 
4. json
-> My preferred format for passing structured data. 
-> Excellent for nested data. 
0010.json
File Size: 10 kb
File Type: json
Download File

Collections

1. List<Object>
2. Dictionary<Object, Object>

String Manipulation

Remember--everything can be a string. So, if you can manipulate strings, you can manipulate everything.
