If you notice any discrepancies, feel free to share them in the feedback section below. For the most reliable information, please always refer to the third‑party tool’s official documentation.

The **change data format** component allows you to convert data between common formats, like JSON, XML, CSV, and YAML, and to serialize (turn an object into a string) or deserialize (turn a string into an object) each supported format.
