# @ohos.data.uniformDataStruct (Uniform Data Structs)

As a part of the Unified Data Management Framework (UDMF), the **uniformDataStruct** module provides data structs corresponding to certain [UniformDataTypes](js-apis-data-uniformTypeDescriptor.md#uniformdatatype) for service scenarios of many-to-many data sharing across applications. It helps simplify data interaction and reduce the data type adaptation workload.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 12. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import

```js
import { uniformDataStruct } from '@kit.ArkData';
```

## PlainText

Represents data of the plain text type.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.DistributedDataManager.UDMF.Core

| Name       | Type  | Read-Only| Optional| Description                   |
| ----------- | ------ | ---- | ---- |-----------------------|
| uniformDataType | 'general.plain-text'| Yes  | No  | Uniform data type, which has a fixed value of **general.plain-text**. For details, see [UniformDataType](js-apis-data-uniformTypeDescriptor.md#uniformdatatype).               |
| textContent | string | No  | No  | Plaintext content.               |
| abstract    | string | No  | Yes  | Text abstract. It is an empty string by default.|
| details | Record<string, string> | No  | Yes| Object of the dictionary type used to describe the attributes of the text content. Both the key and value of the object are of the string type. For example, the following is a **details** object used to describe the properties of a file:<br>{<br>"title":"Title of the file",<br>"content":"Content of the file"<br>}<br>By default, it is an empty dictionary object. |

**Example**

```ts
import { unifiedDataChannel, uniformTypeDescriptor } from '@kit.ArkData';
let plainTextDetails : Record<string, string> = {
  'attr1': 'value1',

  let plainTextDetailsObj : Record<string, string> = plainText.details;
  for(let kv of Object.entries(plainTextDetailsObj)) {
    console.info('plainText.details.attr: ' + kv[0] + ', value:' + kv[1]);
