Payload Transformation: JSON to Java

Mule provides us the functionality of transforming one input data type to another that not only increases the system efficiency but also reduces the execution time. The request is passed in different formats, namely XML, JSON, etc.

Here, in the code, the input data is passed in the form of JSON and transformed output as Java LinkedHashMap, which reduces the time of defining the Java class and referencing to it every time the request is sent. The HTTP Listener configuration can be set as port availability.

The request data sent is captured and set in the payload for Java transformation using Transform Message.

The transformation from JSON to Java is done and the result is logged using Logger.
