we need to deal daily, starting from JSON, XML or String, we also require different type of data transformation in our application like XML to JSON, JSON to XML or String etc . In Mule application, we have a various set of transformers that we can use to obtain our required data format. Here we will be discussing on transformation of XML to XML format of data. If you have gone through my previous slides on JSON to JSON transformation here , you will realize how easy it is to perform such type of transformation in Mule. Here we will take the same example, but will be doing it on XML instead of JSON this time.
that is name and id. So, now if this XML data is coming as an input and we require to transform/modify the payload into another XML format and produce it as an output, something like the following :- <RootTag> <name>Name</name> <id>03</id> <designation>CEO</designation> </RootTag>
new element designation as a third element . Now, the challenge here is to modify the existing input XML payload and to design an output XML payload from it, which will contain this additional element in it with the same format. So, how can we transform/modify the payload into another XML format in an easy way. We know Mule has extremely powerful tools called Datamapper but that limited to Mule enterprise edition.
Mule. Mule do have XSLT support in it’s flow, which makes the life of a developer easy in transforming/modifying XML in the required format. So, here is the Mule flow which can be use to transform XML payload from one format to another using XSLT :-
value, which will be passed into our XSLT, and it will be adding it there as a node called designation. So, the XML output coming after XSLT will be the modified/transformed XML containing additional node called designation. The XSL file here named as Transform.xsl should be kept under src/main/resources folder and the xsl file will be as following :-
into another XML format is extremely easy in Mule using the XSLT . And that means you can design your output XML payload in any format you require using XSLT easily in your Mule flow and Mule also support this by it’s XSLT transformer !!! That’s all !!! I’ve hopefully been clear enough in displaying the implementation of XSLT and XSLT transformer in designing and modifying your XML payload which you can produce as an output from your Mule application.
