What is a JSON Path Extractor?
JSON Path Extractor processing element can be used to extract a given JSON path from a JSON message payload and assign the extracted value to a given scope variable of the message context.
Sample Use Case
In the following use case, the requirement is to receive a message with JSON payload from a HTTP ingress connector, extract a given JSON path from the received message payload and pass it to a custom processing element, perform some custom processing using the extracted JSON path value and finally deliver the message to backend service via HTTP egress processor.
The challenge is to extract the given JSON path and provide it to the custom processing element.
In this flow a JSON Path Extractor processing elements is configured to extract the sample JSON path
$.mobile-numbers[:1].type from the input JSON payload and assign the extracted value to the scope variable
JSON_VALUE and pass the message context to the next processing element for custom processing.
For the following sample input JSON payload, the value iPhone 7 plus will be assigned to the scope variable
JSON_PATH
{
"first-name": "john",
"last-name" : "doe",
"age" : 26,
"address" : {
"streetAddress": "1st cross street",
"city" : "pettah",
"postalCode" : "81000"
},
"mobile-numbers": [
{
"type" : "iPhone 7 plus",
"number": "074-234-567-890"
},
{
"type" : "land line",
"number": "011-234-567-890"
}
]
