Supported types

The CEP can handle several special types that can be processed in EPL. These types can be used both in attributes and metadata.

Primitive types

The primitive types are : int, float, double.

Type	Format	Examples
int	integer	1232
float	float	1.232
double	double	123232.232332

Date type

The date type identifies dates in the ISO8601 format.

Example:

  {
    "name" : "timestamp"
    "value": "2017-06-17T07:21:24.238Z",
    "type: "date"
  }

See the Date-Time section of the Esper EPL documentation for all date and time methods available to filter or manipulate this type from the EPL language.

Geo:point type

The geo:point identifies locations using two numbers separated by a comma using the WGS84 reference.

Example:

  "location": {
    "value": "41.3763726, 2.1864475,14",
    "type": "geo:point"
  }

The geo:point type is converted internally to a Point which support Geospatial operations (see (Geospatial types)[geospatial.md]).
