Data Formats

Overview


Data can be encoded in various formats. When you add data to a blog, the blog needs to know the format of the data. Either you can provide this information, or if you do not tell the blog what type of dtata it is, the blog will use the extension (last letters of the file name after the period, such as "txt" or "json") to guess what the data format is.

  • json: standard javascript object notation. Is usually the default.
  • csv
  • hcsv
  • hson
  • tab
  • htab
Some of the formats above indicate that the first line of the data is a header line. For example, there is a csv format and an hcsv format. Most davinci tools allow you to specify that the format is csv while also indicating that there is a header line.
