By default, event receivers process incoming messages in the XML, JSON, Text, Map (Key-value pairs), and WSO2Event formats. If the incoming events adhere to a default format, select the supported default format for Message Format property under Mapping Configuration when creating event receivers.

WSO2Event input mapping

WSO2Event input mapping allows you to convert events from one WSO2Event format to another. You need to define both the incoming event stream and the mapped event stream for it. A sample mapping configuration is shown below.

The configuration XML file of the above sample mapping is as follows.

            <to name="sensorValue" type="double"/>
        </property>
    </mapping>
    <to ... />
</eventReceiver>

XML input mapping

XML input mapping allows you to convert events of any XML format to the server's canonical event format (WSO2Event) for processing, If the XML message comprises of more then one message, then you can specify a Parent Selector XPath Expression pointing to an XML tag where all it's child elements will be considered as separate XML messages. A sample mapping configuration is shown below.

The configuration XML file of the above sample mapping is as follows.

JSON input mapping

JSON input mapping allows you to convert events of any JSON format to the server's canonical event format (WSO2Event) for processing. If the JSON message is an array, all the array elements are considered as separate messages when mapping the event. A sample mapping configuration is shown below.

The configuration XML file of the above sample mapping is as follows.

Text input mapping

Text input mapping allows you to convert events of any text format to the server's canonical event format (WSO2Event) for processing. Data from the text message are expected to use regular expression patterns. A sample mapping configuration is shown below.

The configuration XML file of the above sample mapping is as follows.
