If you need a different file format than the ones listed here, feel free to [create an issue here](https://github.com/studioespresso/craft-exporter/issues) and I'll see if it can be added to the plugin

## Field Parsers
The handle fields, the plugin come with a number of "parser". The selected parser defines how the data will be added to the export and if there are any formatting options available for the data in question.


### RelationFieldParser <Badge type="info" text="4.0.0" />
- Used for any relation fields
- Output options are: `title`, `id`, `url`

### OptionsFieldParser <Badge type="info" text="4.0.0" />
- Used for any single-value select fields (dropdown, radio buttons)
- Output options are: `label`, `value`

### MultiOptionsFieldParser <Badge type="info" text="4.0.0" />
- Used for any multi-value select fields (checkboxes)
- Output options are: `label`, `value`

### OptionsFieldParser <Badge type="info" text="4.0.0" />

- Output options are: `label`, `value`

### DateTimeParser <Badge type="info" text="4.0.0" />
- Used for Date and DateTime fields
- Output options are: `d/M/Y`, `m/d/Y`, `d/M/Y H:i`, `m/d/Y H:i`, `d/M/Y H:i:s`, `m/d/Y H:i:s`

This is also the fallback for any data that can't be process by the other parsers.
