# Introduction to Data Workflow Object Operators

The [**Object operators**](/v1/docs/object-operators) let you remove null values, convert a table into an object, and merge two objects into one.

## What You'll Learn

In this article, you'll get an overview of the various [Data Workflow](/v1/docs/introduction-to-data-workflow) Object operators.

## Object Operators

Below is a list of the Data Workflow Object operators with descriptions of how to use them.

| Operator | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Clean Object](/v1/docs/clean-object-operator) | Removes or converts unwanted data values in a data set, including null values. The input must be an object. The operator's **Clean Action** setting has three options: - **Convert All to String**: Converts every value in the data set to a string. - **Omit Null**: Drops any fields with a value of null. - **Set Null to Empty String**: Replaces every null value with an empty string (""). Clean actions also apply to all nested fields. |
| [Diff](/v1/docs/diff-operator) | Performs a diff analysis between two inputs and highlights structural differences and outputs the change records. > [!NOTE] > This operator uses the deep-diff npm package. To interpret change records, you can review the package documentation here: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/deep-diff#differences](https://www.npmjs.com/package/deep-diff#differences). |
| [Extend](/v1/docs/extend-operator) | Takes two inputs (objects) and merges them into one object. This operator is often used with two [Group Input](/v1/docs/group-input-operator) operators because the Group Input operator has a six-field limit. The Extend operator lets you create a single object with more than six fields. > [!TIP] > To merge arrays, use the [Append](/v1/docs/append-operator) operator. |
| [Get](/v1/docs/get-operator) | Retrieves data from your data set based on the value entered in the **Path** field. You can use the operator to retrieve individual values or entire rows of an array. For example, a **Path** of `[0]` retrieves the first row of your data set. A **Path** of `[0].keyName` retrieves the specified key/value pair from the first row of your data set. It's also useful for referencing [Global Variables](/v1/docs/global-variables-administration). > [!TIP] > You can use `_arg` in the **Path** field to reference the input coming into the top argument port. |
| [Has](/v1/docs/has-operator) | Determines if a path or key exists in an object. Then, it outputs a Boolean value. Use the **Path** setting to define what key to locate. If the input has the specified key, the output is **True**. If not, the output is **False**. The value in the **Path** setting must match the key exactly or the output is **False**. > [!WARNING] > The input must be an object. |
| [Object2Table](/v1/docs/object2table-operator) | Creates a table from an object. Each key/value pair in the object becomes a row in the final table. > [!WARNING] > The input must be a single object. |
| [Set](/v1/docs/set-operator) | Lets you add values to a data structure. Connect the data structure where you want to add values to the operator's upper input port. In the **Path** field, enter the key of the key/value pair you want to create. You can use dot notation to specify index positions in an array. For example, `[0].key`. In the **Value** field, enter the value for the key/value pair you want to create. Or, leave the **Value** field blank and connect the value or structure you want to add to the lower input port. > [!TIP] > You can use _arg to add values based on the input coming into the top argument port. |
