jData Types in AJAX Toolkit
The AJAX Toolkit returns all data as strings. 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. This is typically used for working with documents and attachments. See Working with Base64 Binary Encoded Strings for more information.
If you request a field whose value is null in a query, the returned value will be null. If you do not request a field, whether the value is null or not, the value is not returned, and is therefore undefined.
