The Payload Parser was created to
handle raw payloads sent by devices in order to extract measured variables or
execute simple operations. The Analysis feature is
more powerful — it includes access to Devices and
external services, but there is a cost to run analyses. Payload Parser uses a
simple JavaScript engine developed by TagoIO to be easy, lightweight, and free.
Payload Parser is intended for lightweight parsing and basic operations
directly on incoming device payloads.
Analysis offers broader capabilities (access to devices, external services,
larger code size, and more advanced error handling), suitable for more complex
workflows.
Use the Payload Parser for simple,
free parsing needs and Analysis when you need
external integration, advanced JavaScript features, or persistence across
executions.
