BizTalk 2013R2 中的 JSON 到 XML 模式

Question

Working on developing a BizTalk 2013R2 solution that calls a REST API, returns data, transforms the data against a map and spits out a.csv on the other side

There's a major hurdle I can't get around currently that I'd like to overcome;

• The API call returns the extract in JSON format. Whilst I can easily build a JSON decoding receive pipeline, the elements within the JSON extract are numerical, so I can't build an appropriate schema (example of element below) - which gives

Name cannot begin with the 'X' character, hexadecimal value

"412345": [
    {
        "LineID": 123456,
        "LineDescription": "This is a description",
        "Year": 2020,
        "Month": 1,
    },
    ...

Is there any way I can treat this element before it's picked up without any major code (eg can the element be automatically appended with a letter?)

Answer 1

You would have to have another pipeline component that runs in the Decode section of the pipeline that would have to replace the first part of the message.

If the number changes for each message, rather than adding a letter to it you probably want to make it a value, rather than a name.

eg

Code: "412345",
Lines: [{
        "LineID": 123456,
        "LineDescription": "This is a description",
        "Year": 2020,
        "Month": 1,
    },
    ...
