## Introduction

In the InfluxDB Line protocol format, a single line of text is used to represent one row of data. Each line contains 4 parts as shown below.

```
measurement,tag_set field_set timestamp
```

- `measurement` will be used as the name of the STable
- `tag_set` will be used as tags, with format like `<tag_key>=<tag_value>,<tag_key>=<tag_value>`
- `field_set`will be used as data columns, with format like `<field_key>=<field_value>,<field_key>=<field_value>`
- `timestamp`  is the primary key timestamp corresponding to this row of data

For example:

```
meters,location=California.LoSangeles,groupid=2 current=13.4,voltage=223,phase=0.29 1648432611249500
```

:::note

- All the data in `tag_set` will be converted to nchar type automatically .
- Each data in `field_set` must be self-descriptive for its data type. For example 1.2f32 means a value 1.2 of float type. Without the "f" type suffix, it will be treated as type double.
- Multiple kinds of precision can be used for the `timestamp` field. Time precision can be from nanosecond (ns) to hour (h).
