# numerify

The *numerify* **parser** will process categorical values produced by an inner **parser** into a numeric **variable** within a **collection**.

It inherits attributes and behaviors from its parent: **parser** - *numeric*.

The *numerify* **parser** is a utility wrapper that enables **parsers** which normally produce categorical **variables** to produce a numeric **variable** instead.

    "parser_type": "categorical",
    "column": "ccc1"
  },
