StackQL data types are used to represent values for input or output fields (properties or parameters) used within cloud resources. StackQL data types are listed in the table below:

StackQL type	Description	Example
string	sequence of Unicode characters enclosed by single quotes	'mybucket'
array	ordered collection of values, surrounded by brackets [ ], separated by a comma	[0,1,2]
object	unordered set of zero or more name/value pairs inserted between { } and separated by a comma	{"name": "mydb"}
boolean	true or false, boolean values are not surrounded within quotes and will be treated as string values	true
integer	a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero	2
double	double-precision floating-point number, can be positive or negative	0.95

 

StackQL data types map to the data types exposed in the APIs for all major cloud providers.
