Grouping JSON Objects in .dmc Files Using WSO2 Data Mapper

When working with JSON, especially in integration scenarios such as with WSO2, it is not uncommon to find yourself needing to group data by specific fields, such as an ID. If you have a dataset of user information and want to restructure it for better accessibility or processing, knowing how to group JSON objects correctly is essential. This guide provides a detailed explanation of how to achieve that via a WSO2 Data Mapper configuration file (.dmc).

Understanding the Problem

Let's start with the sample JSON you might have encountered:

In this JSON structure, multiple user objects share similar IDs. You might want to convert or group this data so that all user objects with the same ID are represented together, like so:

Implementing the Solution

To achieve the desired structure, we'll need to process the JSON using JavaScript in a .dmc file. Here's how to structure your logic to group by ID.

Step-by-Step Guide

Initialize the Output Structure: Start by setting up the initial structure for your output JSON.

Iterate Over Input Data: Loop through each item in the inputroot.sending.field array and collect the relevant data.

Grouping Logic:

Use an object to hold temporary groupings of users by their IDs.

Populate this object as you iterate through the input data.

Here’s a refined code snippet to demonstrate this:

Review the Output

After running the code above, you will achieve an object that groups users by their IDs. Each ID will be a key, and the value will be an array of user objects corresponding to that ID.

Conclusion

Working with JSON in WSO2 can be tricky, but with the right approach and understanding, transforming and grouping your data becomes straightforward. By following the steps outlined, you will be able to efficiently group JSON objects in your .dmc file.

Feel free to experiment with the provided code snippet. It can serve as a solid foundation for more complex data transformations based on your unique requirements. If you encounter any issues or have questions, the community resources or further documentation might be helpful.

Happy coding!
