Description

JOLT is a great Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and engine for transforming JSON documents, which our JoltTransformJSON processor leverages. However, the JOLT engine simply translates the JSON text into a Java object, runs the transformation based on the spec, and then transforms the object(s) back into JSON. This is very similar to how our record-based processors work, and JOLT itself is not bound to JSON per se.

We can leverage JOLT to provide a record-based processor to run JOLT transformations on any incoming record sets, such as XML, CSV, Avro, etc.
