.Json Options

|======
|
|
| Name | Required | Default | Description
|
|
| `field` | yes | - | The field to be parsed
|
|
| `target_field` | no | `field` | The field to insert the converted structured object into
|
|
| `add_to_root` | no | false | Flag that forces the serialized json to be injected into the top level of the document. `target_field` must not be set when this option is chosen.

|
|
|======
|
|
|
|
All JSON-supported types will be parsed (null, boolean, number, array, object, string).
|
|
|
|
Suppose you provide this configuration of the `json` processor:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"json" : {
|
|
"field" : "string_source",
|
|
"target_field" : "json_target"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
If the following document is processed:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"string_source": "{\"foo\": 2000}"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
after the `json` processor operates on it, it will look like:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"string_source": "{\"foo\": 2000}",
|
|
"json_target": {
|
|
"foo": 2000
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
If the following configuration is provided, omitting the optional `target_field` setting:
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"json" : {
|
|
"field" : "source_and_target"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
then after the `json` processor operates on this document:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"source_and_target": "{\"foo\": 2000}"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
it will look like:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"source_and_target": {
|
|
"foo": 2000
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// NOTCONSOLE
|
|
|
|
This illustrates that, unless it is explicitly named in the processor configuration, the `target_field`
|
|
is the same field provided in the required `field` configuration.
