Text Plain Format

MIME type: text/plain

ID: text

The Text Plain format represents text as a string.

Note that DataWeave parses, encodes, and stores this format into RAM memory.

Example

This example shows how DataWeave represents Text Plain data.

The Plain Text data serves as the input payload to the DataWeave source.

This is text plain

The DataWeave script transforms the Text PLain input payload to the DataWeave (dw) format and MIME type. It returns a string.

output application/dw
---
payload

Because the DataWeave (dw) output is a string, it is wrapped in quotation marks.
