# Data types

Data types are used in multiple places in Dexi and give you a way of defining the structure of your data once and then reusing that structure in several places.

              **Tip!**

              

For bigger projects, we recommend using data types for defining the inputs and outputs.

They can also be used from a Pipes robot to normalize data into a certain structure.
