Object to Json & Json to Object Transformer in Mule

  Object to Json & Json to Object Transformer in Mule

JSON is now natively supported in Mule, meaning you can work with JSON documents and bind them automatically to Java objects.


JSON transformers have been added to make it easy to work with JSON encoded messages. We have used the excellent Jackson Framework which means Mule also supports JSON /Object bindings.

Object to Json Transformer : It converts java map object to json object.

Json to Object Transformer : It converts Json object to java map object.


flow example  :




In Json to Object transformer, we have to give return class as : java.util.Map



Logger out gives map object as payload shown below :





URL : http://localhost:8085/api/jsontoobject
Method : POST
