Expand

Expand processes values by creating new objects from objects in arrays.

Interpretation Methods

The processor supports these interpretation methods:

• object
• data

Use Cases

Expanding Data Arrays

If the value is a data array, then the result is:

Input

[{"a":"b"},{"c":"d"}]

Output

{"a":"b"}
{"c":"d"}

Expanding Object Arrays

If the value is an object array, then the result is:

Input

{"a":[{"b":"c"},{"d":"e"}],"x":"y"}

Output

{"b":"c","x":"y"}
{"d":"e","x":"y"}

Expanding Object Arrays in Complex Objects

If the value is part of a complex object, then it can be optionally expanded into paths within the newly created object using the set_key option. In this example, set_key == x.y:

Input

{
	"a": {
		"b": {
			"c": [{
				"d": "e"
			}],
			"h": {
				"i": 1
			}
		}
	},
	"j": {
		"k": 1
	}
}

Output

{
	"a": {
		"b": {
			"h": {
				"i": 1
			}
		}
	},
	"j": {
		"k": 1
	},
	"x": {
		"y": {
			"d": "e"
		}
	}
}
