Type mapping
| Value kind | in JSON | in TXT |
|---|---|---|
| Int | 1234 (number) | 1234, or right-aligned in a fixed-width column |
| Decimal | 1234.56 (number) | 1234.56 |
| Float | 1.234e10 (number) | 1.234e+10 |
| Text | "text" (string) | written as-is; padding depends on the chosen layout |
| Long text | "multi-line\ntext" (escaped newline inside a string) | written as-is |
| Date | "2026-09-18" (string) | whatever the writer chose |
| Datetime | "2026-09-18T14:30:00Z" (string) | whatever the writer chose |
| Binary | "base64:..." (string) | not representable |
| Boolean | true / false (boolean) | Y / N, or 1 / 0, or TRUE / FALSE |
| JSON | nested object or array, kept as structure | written as-is |
Dialect differences
Both JSON and TXT are file formats, so what differs below is how each one chooses to represent a value.
| Property | in JSON | in TXT |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | Double quotes; backslash escapes | None by convention |
| dates | No date type: dates arrive as strings and the reader must p... | Whatever the writer produced; no convention is guaranteed |
| binary | Not supported natively - base64 inside a string | Not supported |
| separator | Braces and commas | Whatever was chosen - often fixed column widths |
| encoding | UTF-8 by definition | No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM |
| typing | string, number, boolean, null, object, array - no date type | None - every field is text |
| shape | Nested objects and arrays | Free form; a parser has to be told the layout |
| ceiling | Whole document is usually parsed into memory | No formal limit |
