Kind serialised_payloads

Serialised element that is usually accepted by sink

Data representation

Data representation

This kind has a different internal and external representation. External representation is relevant for integration with your workflow, whereas internal one is an implementation detail useful for Workflows blocks development.

External

External data representation is relevant for Workflows clients - it dictates what is the input and output format of data.

Type: List[Union[str, dict]]

Internal

Internal data representation is relevant for Workflows blocks creators - this is the type that will be provided by Execution Engine in runtime to the block that consumes input of this kind.

Type: List[Union[str, bytes, dict]]

Details

This value represents list of serialised values. Each serialised value is either string or bytes - if something else is provided - it will be attempted to be serialised to JSON.

Examples: 

["some", b"other", {"my": "dictionary"}]

This kind is to be used in combination with sinks blocks and serializers blocks. Serializer should output value of this kind which shall then be accepted by sink.
