# Processing

Processing results summarises all the occurrences of detected data elements that are found in the scan.

A processing result consists of the following structure:

```json
{
    "processing": {
        "sourceId": "string",
        "occurrences": [
            {
                "sample": "string",
                "lineNumber": "int",
                "columnNumber": "int",
                "fileName": "string",
                "excerpt": "string"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

The parameters are explained below:

| **Field**      | **Description**                                           |
