JSON Transformer Function Service (FaaS)

This tiny function service offers capabilites for transforming a JSON structure to another following a query expression.

The function uses the excellent https://github.com/eiiches/jackson-jq Java library to do the transformation.

How to use

Simple perform a POST /transform with a JSON payload following the following structure :

{
  "input": ... (any array or object as input data)
  "query": "the jq query string"
}

To experiment with an input JSON and test the result of your query on it, use this online tool : https://jqplay.org

For the jq manual, see https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/

Example

Request :

POST /transform HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: localhost:5050
Connection: close
Content-Length: 6942
