Data Loading

Data loading from external files.

These functions help you with loading and embedding data, for example from the results of an experiment.

Encoding

Some of the functions are also capable of encoding, e.g. cbor.encode. They facilitate passing structured data to plugins.

However, each data format has its own native types. Therefore, for an arbitrary Typst value, the encode-to-decode roundtrip might be lossy. In general, numbers, strings, and arrays or dictionaries composed of them can be reliably converted, while other types may fall back to strings via repr, which is for debugging purposes only. Please refer to the page of each data format for details.
