If needed, you can convert the data into an appropriate datatype by using one of the functions supplied with the returned object:

  • getDate maps dates to JavaScript Date.
  • getDateTime maps dateTime values to JavaScript Date.
  • getInt maps integer values to JavaScript Int.
  • getFloat maps float values to JavaScript Float.
  • getBoolean maps boolean values to JavaScript Boolean.
  • getArray retrieves arrays of values.
  • getBase64Binary returns the decoded value of a Base64 binary encoded string.
