Christopher McDermott commented on NIFI-1593:
---------------------------------------------
Brilliant. I've been looking for something like this. I'd like to see it also
support flow file attributes as a data source, as well as JSON flow file
content.
> New Processor to make use of a template engine
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-1593
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1593
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core UI
> Affects Versions: 0.4.1
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Uwe Geercken
> Priority: Minor
>
> Add a new processor that allows to use the functionality of a template engine
> such as Apache Velocity.
> The user would provide either the template code or reference a template file.
> In the process the flowfile content/attributes would be merged with the
> template and thus transforming the content.
> A use case would be:
> Get a Json file >> EvaluateJsonPath >> transform the attributes of the Json
> file to a different format using the given template code or template file
> (using the template engine) >> conversion into any other text based format
> such as xml, html, text.
