Generally, Cab node is allowed to be queried for or assigned with a value of type that is different from the node type, within the limitations of the following type conversions rules:

Source type Destination type
dt_Bool dt_Int dt_Int64 dt_Double dt_String dt_Stream dt_IUnknown dt_Array dt_Dictionary
dt_Bool Direct true -> 1, false -> 0 true -> 1, false -> 0 N/A true -> "true", false -> "false" N/A N/A N/A N/A
dt_Int (value == 0) -> false, (value == 1) -> true Direct Direct standard integer -> double conversion standard integer -> string conversion N/A N/A N/A N/A
dt_Int64 (value == 0) -> false, (value == 1) -> true Direct Direct standard integer -> double conversion standard integer -> string conversion N/A N/A N/A N/A
dt_Double N/A lossless double->integer conversion (if possible) lossless double->integer conversion (if possible) Direct standard double->string converison N/A N/A N/A N/A
dt_String "true" (case insensitive) -> true, "false" (case insensitive) -> false standard string->integer conversion (if possible) standard string->integer conversion (if possible) standard string -> double conversion (if possible) Direct N/A N/A N/A N/A
dt_Stream N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Direct N/A N/A N/A
dt_IUnknown N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Direct N/A N/A
dt_Array N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Direct N/A
dt_Dictionary N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Direct
