Transform

Definitions

1. An operation that converts data or visual elements from one form to another — in CSS, a transform applies 2D/3D geometric changes (translate, rotate, scale) to an element; in data pipelines, a transform is any step that reshapes, filters, or enriches data between source and destination.

   In plain English: A step that changes data or a visual element from one form into another.

   Example: "The Babel transform converts JSX syntax into React.createElement calls so browsers can understand it."
