Flatten Fields Processor

AI Tools

Description

This processor recursively reduces the level of a set of objects and appends the prior level to the keys of each.

The flatten processor is useful when you need all nested fields of a JSON object to be moved to a single level. This can be beneficial when integrating with a system that can't handle complex or nested data.

Configuration

There are two options for configuring this processor.

Option	Description	Example
Fields	The field or fields to flatten.	`.foo`
Flatten Options	Specify the delimiter to use for combining field names with the flattened data.	_

Example

Before

{ "foo": { "bar": { "baz": 1, "qux": "quux" }, "corge": [ 1, 2, 3 ] } }

Flatten Options

Option	Value
Field	.`foo`
Delimiter	_

{ "foo_bar_baz": 1, "foo_bar_qux": "quux", "foo_corge": [ 1, 2, 3 ] }
