Casting (converting) data types

UI Text Box

size	medium
type	info

Casting (or transforming) data types is very important throughout all functions provided by JWT.

To be able to set, transform or calculate values it might be necessary to turn a text value to a number, a number or a timestamp to a text, and even individual text or number values to a list.

The following functions will help you to achieve that.
