# Data

Convert data values to different formats, or manipulate individual elements within a data structure.

## Overview

Overview Use data nodes to take one type of data and manipulate it to get a different type of value. Data manipulations can take several forms: Convert one data type to a different format. Combine individual elements to create a single data type. Separate a single data type into its component elements. Extract or manipulate individual values from a data structure and use them as input to other nodes.
