    Rule inputs. You can use RI to pass data IN and OUT of an interface.

    Depends on the context where we using those interfaces , If we are using those in User input tasks we gonna go for Process variables . I mean  data in interface gets saved in Rule inputs first, from there data get transferred to process variables...(Two way transactions). If you use it in Process model

    In general, you can use any data type. But the data must be declared in the parent interface. Check out my blog post.
