Mastering Jolt Transformations: A Guide to Nested Arrays and Objects

Working with nested arrays and objects within JSON files can be daunting, especially when you need to transform them into a desired format. Jolt, a powerful transformation library, provides a robust solution for these complex JSON transformations. In this post, we will explore how to convert JSON data structured in a nested format to a more organized layout using Jolt transformations. Let’s dive in!

The Problem: Understanding the Nested Structure

Consider the following JSON input that you want to transform:

Desired Output Format

The goal is to transform the above input into a structured format as follows:

The Solution: Creating the Jolt Transformation Spec

To achieve the desired transformation, we’ll need to write a Jolt spec that effectively shifts the data into the correct format. Below is the Jolt spec that you can use:

Breakdown of the Jolt Spec

Operation Type: The transformation uses the shift operation, which allows us to map input fields to output fields based on specified rules.

Wildcards: The use of * acts as a wildcard, matching any field at that level of the structure. This ensures comprehensive coverage of the different headings and fields present in our input.

Id Transformation: The line "id": "admin.@ (1,heading).id" maps the id value to its corresponding heading in the output structure.

Field Value Transformation: The other lines utilize nested wildcards to map the value fields from the fields array into the respective keys based on their description. This results in a per-heading organization for each user.

Conclusion

Transforming complex nested JSON structures using Jolt can simplify data handling tasks significantly. By understanding how to construct your Jolt spec, you can manipulate arrays and nested objects with ease. As you gain more experience with Jolt, you will find that it is a powerful tool for data transformation tasks. So whether you're new to Jolt or looking to refine your skills, mastering these transformations can greatly enhance your data processing capabilities.
