How to use searches

• SearchPath : This path should have use for the placeholder {{searchValue}}, so that traversal is possible outside of this scope with values of inside this scope
• SearchPathValue : {{searchValue}} will be replaced with the result of this path

Example target Json

{ 
   "root":{ 
      "people":[ 
         { 
            "person":{ 
               "professionName":""
            }
         }
      ]
   }
}

• Xml as Source

<root>
    <people>
        <person>
            <professionId>123</professionId>
        </person>
        <person>
            <professionId>123</professionId>
        </person>
    </people>
    <professions>
        <profession id="123">
            <name>Programmer</name>
        </profession>
    </professions>
</root>

• Example Scope : //people/person
• Example JsonTraversal : $.root.people
• SearchPath : ../../professions/profession[@id='{{searchValue}}']/name
• SearchPathValue : ./professionId
• Example JsonSetValue : .person.professionName

{ 
   "root":{ 
      "people":[ 
         { 
            "person":{ 
               "professionId":"123"
            }
         },
         { 
            "person":{ 
               "professionId":"123"
            }
         }
      ],
      "profession":[ 
         { 
            "id":"123",
            "name":"Programmer"
         }
      ]
   }
}

• Json as source
  • Example Scope : $.root.people[*]
  • Example JsonTraversal : $.root.people
  • SearchPath : ../../../.profession[?(@.id=='{{searchValue}}')].name
  • SearchPathValue : .person.professionId
  • Example JsonSetValue : .person.professionName

{ 
   "root":{ 
      "people":[ 
         { 
            "person":{ 
               "professionId":"123"
            }
         },
         { 
            "person":{ 
               "professionId":"123"
            }
         }
      ],
      "profession":[ 
         { 
            "id":"123",
            "name":"Programmer"
         }
      ]
   }
}

• Model as source
  • Example Scope : /root/people
  • Example JsonTraversal : $.root.people
  • SearchPath : ../../profession{'PropertyName':'id','Value':'{{searchValue}}'}/name
  • SearchPathValue : professionId
  • Example JsonSetValue : .person.professionName
