James,

I think you will want to take a look at ReplaceTextWithMapping [1] so you can 
look up the mapping file and then inject the matching value into the JSON 
content (or an attribute) and route accordingly. You can also use 
SimpleCsvFileLookupService [2] or ScriptedLookupService [3] if you treat the 
incoming data as NiFi “records”.
