@Pretty - I think we need a bit more description of what you’re trying to do here. If you just want to convert $Id to a number, you can use the built-in expression language function parseInt($Id) in a Mapper snap.
As @ljupcho_machkovski pointed out, everything else is a String. JSON only supports a small number of data types: String, Number, Object, Array, or Boolean.
Agreed, you can use a mapper for conversion to integer, string (fieldname.toString())

Here exactly I am working on ,
We have data in json file.
{
“Id”: “1076”,
“jobTitle”: “Software engineer”,
“firstName”: “David”,
“lastName”: “villey”,
“fullName”: “Davidvilley”,
“email_N”: “Davidvilley@gmail.com”,
“telephoneNumber”: “+1-8474987109”
}those are the data which I mentioned above,
firstly we will import this data from json file , But here we don’t have any datatype for this data so I need to add datatypes, from adding the datatype I can validate the data.
For example If we add the datatype for firstName as string(4) in this case If we pass 5 character ex:David It should through an error. I need to store this error msg in separate output so to get this result i am trying to add the datatypes.
I hope this make sense.
Thanks in advance.
