---------------------------------
I've confirmed that this is indeed merged into develop and have marked the
ticket as resolved against the 0.0.2 baseline
> Create Processors to work against JSON data
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-360
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Aldrin Piri
> Assignee: Aldrin Piri
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: processor
> Fix For: 0.0.2

>
> I have created two Processors, EvaluateJsonPath and SplitJson which are
> analogs of the functionality provided through EvaluateXPath and SpiltXML.
> Both are powered primarily around the usage of [JsonPath by
> Jayway|https://github.com/jayway/JsonPath].
> Their capability descriptions are provided below:
> {panel:title= EvaluateJsonPath}
> Evaluates one or more JsonPath expressions against the content of a FlowFile.
> The results of those expressions are assigned to FlowFile Attributes or are
> written to the content of the FlowFile itself, depending on configuration of
> the Processor. JsonPaths are entered by adding user-defined properties; the
> name of the property maps to the Attribute Name into which the result will be
> placed (if the Destination is flowfile-attribute; otherwise, the property
> name is ignored).
> The value of the property must be a valid JsonPath expression. If the
> JsonPath evaluates to a JSON array or JSON object and the Return Type is set
> to 'scalar' the FlowFile will be unmodified and will be routed to failure. A
> Return Type of JSON can return scalar values if the provided JsonPath
> evaluates to the specified value and will be routed as a match. If
> Destination is 'flowfile-content' and the JsonPath does not evaluate to a
> defined path, the FlowFile will be routed to 'unmatched' without having its
> contents modified. If Destination is flowfile-attribute and the expression
> matches nothing, attributes will be created with empty strings as the value,
> and the FlowFile will always be routed to 'matched.'
> {panel}
> {panel:title=SplitJson}
> Splits a JSON File into multiple, separate FlowFiles for an array element
> specified by a JsonPath expression. Each generated FlowFile is comprised of
> an element of the specified array and transferred to relationship 'split,
> with the original file transferred to the 'original' relationship. If the
> specified JsonPath is not found or does not evaluate to an array element,
> the original file is routed to 'failure' and no files are generated.
> {panel}
> One item of note is the transitive dependency of ASM through Json-Smart
> through JsonPath.
> I have included, what I believe is needed to appropriately make use of this
> item in the LICENSE. Review of its correctness would is requested.
> Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
