# Data Parsers

Data parsers for Limio for Salesforce that ingest and transform external data into Limio-compatible formats. Designed to reduce the integration glue code that's typically needed when connecting Salesforce workflows to Limio's subscription platform.

## How it works

Parsers sit between your external data sources and Limio, handling the transformation logic that would otherwise require custom middleware. They normalise incoming data — whether from Salesforce objects, external APIs, or file imports — into the formats that Limio's order processing and catalog systems expect.

## Why it matters

Every Limio for Salesforce implementation involves some degree of data transformation. Standardised parsers mean faster onboarding, less bespoke integration code, and a more predictable path from external data to Limio-ready records. This is particularly valuable for customers with complex Salesforce configurations or multiple data sources feeding into their subscription workflows.
