# Application Data Object

## Application Data

Once data has been imported for an application, a data object can be used in Grant Kits and policy code to refer to imported application data. The object looks like the following:

```
{
  "<application-type>": { ... required keys here ... },
}
```

Here's an example:

```
{
  "github": {"username":"alice"},
  "aws_identitystore": {"id": "1234"}
}
```

The user Alice has two pieces of data imported about them. Data for `github` and `aws_identitystore` is available.

## Referring to Application Data in Grant Kits

You can refer to application data in grant kits in the following way:

```
{{ .user.<app>.<key> }}
```

For example:

```
{{ .user.github.username }}
```

Refers to the Github username of a user.

## Referring to Application Data in Policies

You can refer to application data in grant kits in the following way:

```
data.user.<app>.<keyname>
```

For example:

```
data.user.github.username == "Alice"
```

checks whether a Github username matches `Alice`
