Example message assembly (JSON)

You can create message assemblies by using the Message Assembly Editor in the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.

The following example shows a JSON message that was constructed by using the Message Assembly Editor:

This picture shows an example JSON message that was constructed by using the Message Assembly Editor. — Figure 1. JSON message constructed using the Message Assembly Editor

When this message was created in the Message Assembly Editor, the following entries were saved to the .mxml file under the JSON element of the message tree:


      <JSON iib:parser="json">
         <Data>
            <house>
               <NewArray iib:elementType="0x01001000">
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">detached</Item>
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">bungalow</Item>
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">terraced</Item>
               </NewArray>
            </house>
         <vehicle>
               <NewArray iib:elementType="0x01001000">
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">car</Item>
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">motorbike</Item>
                  <Item iib:valueType="CHARACTER">van</Item>
               </NewArray>
            </vehicle>
         </Data>
      </JSON>
