JSON examples

JSON objects and arrays can be transformed with transform actions. The following examples and the examples in the related topics, provide sample JSON objects and arrays and transformations of those objects and arrays. These examples demonstrate some JSON message processing that the DataPower® Gateway supports.

The examples illustrate transformation of JSON objects in a simple purchase order system. The following example JSON objects are customer purchase orders.
