XML Flattener

Supported pipeline types:

  • Data Collector
The XML Flattener processor flattens a well-formed XML document embedded in a string field and adds the flattened data to the record as additional fields or as a map in a single field.

When you configure the XML Flattener, you specify the field that contains the XML data. You can specify a record delimiter to generate multiple records from the XML document. When specifying a record delimiter, use an XML element directly under the root element.

You can configure whether the processor keeps all fields in the original record, or keeps just the flattened fields.

You can also specify an output field. When you define an output field, the processor writes the flattened fields to the output field as a map. You can optionally configure the string used to separate entity names and attributes in the flattened field names.
