# Parse Bool

The "Parse Bool" step converts string input values into their corresponding boolean representations. This step is useful with data that contains different textual representations of Boolean values. It accepts a string as input and returns a Boolean value, 'true' or 'false,' based on the interpretation of the provided string.

The "Parse Bool" step is **case-insensitive**, so it will treat input values like 'true,' 'True,' 'tRuE,' and 'TRUE' all the same and convert them to 'true.' The same applies to 'false' values.
