JSONWriter: how to create a json file with root being a array

CloverDX Platform
1

I need to create json files whose root are an array (starts with [), in the format as follows: [object, object, …].
But for JSONWriter mapping, the root is an element (object) which starts with {.
Is there any simple way to make JSON root to be an array instead?

I could manually remove the root and array name in the output file, or use a script to do it outside CloverETL. But that is not convenient, especially for large number of json files to create.

Hi,

The following are the steps to take to accomplish you use case:

  • Delete default root element

  • Add child array (this will be your new root)

  • In the item element that is created, drag and drop input fields

The below image is an example of how the mapping should look.

Thanks for the very quick reply, Pedro.
It is sorted! I did not realise I could delete the root.
