EPIC

Goal

More native support for JSON and YAML
"Frank-developers mostly convert JSON to XML and than map it using XSLT, any Json2json mapping can be done using JavaScript pipe"

Description

We need equivalents for
XSLTPipe ==> JSTL (JSON mapping) ==> JSLTPipe
XPATH ==> JSONpath ==> PARAM / JsonIfPipe / other XPATH pipes
XSD validation ==> Validation against API Spec or JSON schema

Tasks

• add JSLT pipe
• add JSON path to param
• Add JSON IfPipe (and/or merge with or rename XmlIfPipe) #7546
• data/j-sonnet mapper  #7303
• Ability to use a JsonPath to obtain the correlationId from a JSON message in the a Receiver #7689

Related older issues

• OpenAPI spec GUI #1634
• Fixing and improving openapi spec in frank #6491
• Json2XmlValidator should set jsonWithRootElements to true when root element only contains a value and no child elements #5057

Slightly related:
XML Object Notation ==> using a XML format that can convert from and to JSON without

• xml2json use attribute to set as object or as an array #5534

javascript pipe is now used for JSON mapping

• JavascriptSender supports only old ES5/partial ES6 and gives practically no feedback when using unsupported syntax #6239
