Transformation Function

Transformation Functions allow you to modify, rename, and structure incoming data.

Overview

A Transformation Function in Qubitro allows you to modify, rename, and structure incoming data before it is stored or used for automation.

How Transformation Functions Work

Transformation Functions run after Decoder Functions in a system-level order and cannot be changed.

JSONata for Data Transformation

Transformation Functions in Qubitro use JSONata, a lightweight query and transformation language designed for JSON data.

JSONata is optimized for real-time data processing, allowing flexible modifications without complex scripting.

For examples and best practices, check out our guidance.
