This document describes how Boost.space IntegratorPart of the Boost.space system, where you can create your connections and automate your processes. behaves in situations when it receives values in expected and unexpected data formats.
When arrayWithin a bundle, data items of the same type are sometimes in an array. You can find an array by looking at the details of a bundle. Depending on the details of your scenario, you can map other modules to a specific item in an array or use iterators and aggregators to manipulate your data into other formats. When mapping,... is expected:
Received | Description |
---|---|
array | The value is handed over unchanged. |
other | If the received value is not of the array type, Boost.space Integrator will create an array and the first (and the only) element will be the received value. |
Received | Description |
---|---|
boolean | The value is handed over unchanged. |
number | The value is converted to logical Yes , even if the value is 0 |
text | If the value is equal to false or the value is empty, it is converted to logical No . If not, it is converted to logical Yes |
other | The value is converted to logical Yes whenever the received value exists (is not null ). |
Received | Description |
---|---|
buffer | The value is handed over unchanged only if the codepage is as expected. If the codepage differs, Boost.space Integrator will try to convert the received value to the requested codepage . If this conversion is not supported, Boost.space Integrator will return a validation error. |
boolean | The value is converted to text (true /false ) and then to binary data following the steps mentioned above for converting to text. |
date | The value is converted to ISO 8601 text and then to binary data following the steps mentioned for converting to text. |
number | The value is converted to text and then to binary data following the steps mentioned above for converting to text. |
text | The value is converted to binary data and encoded as expected. If the expected encoding is not specified, utf8 encoding will be used. |
other | Boost.space Integrator returns a validation error. |

collection | The value is handed over unchanged. |

Received | Description |
---|---|
date | The value is handed over unchanged. |
text | Boost.space Integrator will try to convert the text to a date. If the conversion fails, it will return a validation error. Date must contain day, month and year. Date may contain time and time zone. Default time zone is based on your settings. See these examples. |
number | Boost.space Integrator will treat the number as milliseconds since Jan 01 1970 (UTC) and convert it to a corresponding date. |
other | Boost.space Integrator returns a validation error. |

text | The value is handed over unchanged. |
array | If the given array supports conversion to text, the value will be converted. If not, Boost.space Integrator will return a validation error. |
boolean | The value is converted to text (true /false ). |
buffer | If text encoding is specified for binary data, the value will be converted to text. If not, Boost.space Integrator will return a validation error |
