  4. Output a Field When Present

Output a Field When Present

This DataWeave example outputs a field if it is present in the input, a JSON array. The first object in the array contains "insurance", while the second does not. The XML output mirrors this structure.

The example uses these functions:

  • map to go through every element within the input array.

  • if($.insurance?) to determine when to output an insurance field.

DataWeave Script:
%dw 2.0
output application/xml

users: { (payload map
        user: {
          name: $.name,
          (insurance: $.insurance) if($.insurance?)
        } )
}
