Rollbase object to JavaScript data type mappings

A JSDO communicates with a a Rollbase server through a Data Object Service to marshal Rollbase field data for parameters (and return values) of the Rollbase APIs that operate on Rollbase objects. The JSDO provides this Rollbase field data to the mobile app programmer as JavaScript data. For more information on Rollbase field types, see the Rollbase reference to Field Types. For more information on the format and use of JavaScript data types, you can review sources on the web, such as http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_datatypes.asp. For more information on JSDOs and how they communicate with a Rollbase server through a Data Object Service, see progress.data.JSDO class.

The following tables describe the mappings between the field types of different categories of Rollbase object fields and the JavaScript data types of corresponding table fields in a JSDO. These data type conversions happen in the server-side Data Object when the JSDO invokes a resource operation that exchanges data between the JSDO and its Rollbase resource using the fill( ), saveChanges( ), or any invocation method.
