Conversion/export widgets
=========================

The widgets of this category serve diverse purposes unified by the notion
of "conversion". :ref:`Convert` takes as input tabular data in Orange Textable
format and converts them to other formats, in particular the *Table* format
appropriate for further processing within Orange Canvas; :ref:`Convert` also
makes it possible to apply various standard transforms to a table, such as
sorting, normalizing, etc., as well as to export its contents in tab-delimited
text format. :ref:`Message` takes as input a segmentation containing data in
a specific JSON format (see :doc:`Reference: JSON im-/export format
<json_format>`) and converts them to a "message" that can be used to control
the behavior of other widgets.
