# Dictionaries

Dictionaries are used to map a list of values to another list of values, arranged as key/value pairs, and is commonly used for data normalization. Both the keys and values can be an object or a string of text; key entries can also be defined as a regular expression (RegEx).

To create a new dictionary:

1. Select the **Projects** view.
2. Click **New**.
3. Click **Dictionary**.

For example, if you need to map common typos to their correct counterpart or if you want to look up a certain SKU in a dictionary to get the proper name for a product, this can all be done using the dictionaries.

Essentially, it is mapping from one value to another - like **BLCK** to **BLACK** or **1K** to **1000**. A dictionary can contain several thousands of entries like this and you use it in a Pipes robot.
