  4. Rename Keys

Rename JSON Keys

DataWeave 2.2 is compatible and bundled with Mule 4.2. This version of Mule reached its End of Life on May 2, 2023, when Extended Support ended.

Deployments of new applications to CloudHub that use this version of Mule are no longer allowed. Only in-place updates to applications are permitted.

MuleSoft recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Mule 4 that is in Standard Support so that your applications run with the latest fixes and security enhancements.

This DataWeave example renames some keys in a JSON object, while retaining the names of all others in the output. Before you begin, note that DataWeave version 2 (%dw 2.0) is for Mule 4 apps. For a Mule 3 app, refer to DataWeave 1.0 (%dw 1.0) examples, within the Mule 3.9 documentation set. For other Mule versions, you can use the Mule Runtime version selector in the table of contents.

The example uses these functions:

  • mapObject to go through the key:value pairs in a JSON object.

  • if by itself to determine when to change the name of a key.

  • if with and to retain the name of all keys except the two with new names.

  • as to coerce the type of the keys into a String.
