Dave,
That JSON is actually the schema of the data, not the data itself.
Avro Schemas are indeed stored in JSON format, under the hood we have
utilities for changing back and forth between Avro schemas and
internal object representations of NiFi Record schemas. We don't
serialize the Record schema
Hi Matt
Thanks for your reply, I will certainly take on board everything you and Andy
advise and I will look at classes you mentioned and I will also read the links
provided.
I ran the TestXMLReader as a junit in Eclipse, a sample of the the console
output is :

Hi Dave,
The underlying internal “record format” is not JSON. Avro [1] is used to
describe schemas across all record formats, but the internal data storage is
NiFi specific. You may be interested in these articles by Mark Payne and Bryan
Bende [2][3][4] and the potential use of the ScriptedRead
Dave,
Which unit test file(s) for XMLReader are you seeing that the output
is JSON? I ran TestXMLReader and TestXMLRecordReader and didn't see
any console output. Most unit tests for Readers only test that the
internal Record objects have been parsed correctly, they don't usually
go an extra step
Hi
I want to use the ConvertRecord Processor with it's underlying Record Readers
and Writers to convert files from XML or JSON to a bespoke format and probably
vice versa.I have looked at the Readers/Writers currently provided and decided
that I can use the XML/JSON ones provided but I will need
