In this chapter, we are going to look at the Declare, Instantiate, Populate (DIP) process in action and how you can make your own variables, set data, and manipulate data as the logic app run proceeds.
We will take a deeper look at JSON messages, which are the staple for sending data universally. Finally, we will also consider how data is stored and structured by applications and their underlying databases by accessing data using logical as well as physical field names.
