Some data types are not supported yet for various reasons. The currently supported data types are specified in source/Node.py in line self.datatype = ['string', 'integer', 'float', 'ipaddress'] # , 'datetime', 'base64', 'hex']

The main problem is that it is difficult to accurately detect these data types without too many false positives. For example, most alphanumeric strings can be interpreted as base64.

Maybe there is a way to detect these types more consistently when enough data fits. There could be a threshhold for classfying this data. The cases in test 1 are very simple and could be used to test implementations when they should be supported.
