Parse Data Dictionary

Parse Data Dictionary Node Documentation
The Parse Data Dictionary node in AugeLab Studio is used to extract data from a given input data dictionary by selecting a desired key. It takes a string representation of a dictionary as input, parses the dictionary, and retrieves the value associated with the selected key.
Node Overview
The Parse Data Dictionary node allows you to extract specific data from a dictionary by specifying the key. This is useful when you have a dictionary containing multiple data entries, and you want to extract a particular value based on its key.
Node Interaction
1.Drag and drop the Parse Data Dictionary node from the node library onto the canvas in AugeLab Studio.
2.Connect the input data dictionary (as a string) to the input socket of the node.
3.Select the desired key from the "Select key from input data dict" dropdown list.
4.The node will parse the input data dictionary and output the value associated with the selected key.
Input and Output Sockets
The Parse Data Dictionary node has a single input socket labeled "Input Dictionary (String)" and a single output socket labeled "Output Data." The input socket accepts a string representation of a dictionary, and the output socket outputs the value associated with the selected key.
Parameter Configuration
The Parse Data Dictionary node allows you to select the desired key from the input data dictionary using the dropdown list. The list is dynamically populated based on the keys present in the input dictionary. Selecting a key will output the corresponding value.
Implementation Details
The Parse Data Dictionary node follows these steps to extract data from the input dictionary:
1.Input Retrieval: The node retrieves the input dictionary as a string.
2.Dictionary Parsing: The node parses the input string into a dictionary object.
3.Key Selection: The node allows you to select a key from the dropdown list.
4.Value Extraction: The node retrieves the value associated with the selected key from the parsed dictionary.
5.Output Generation: The node outputs the extracted value.
Usage
1.Drag and drop the Parse Data Dictionary node from the node library onto the canvas in AugeLab Studio.
2.Connect the input data dictionary (as a string) to the "Input Dictionary (String)" socket of the node.
3.Select the desired key from the dropdown list.
4.Run the pipeline or execute the node to observe the extracted value.
5.Use the extracted value in downstream nodes or further processing as needed.
Notes
The Parse Data Dictionary node is useful for extracting specific values from a dictionary based on the keys.
It can be used to parse JSON data or other string representations of dictionaries.
The node dynamically populates the dropdown list with the available keys in the input dictionary.
The selected key determines the value that will be output by the node.
The node provides a convenient way to extract data from a dictionary and incorporate it into your data processing workflows.
It enhances the capabilities of AugeLab Studio for data manipulation, filtering, and transformation.
