Input:
JSON
x
1
[[
2
{
3
"name":"john"
4
},
5
{
6
"name":"leonardo"
7
}
8
],
9
[

{
17
"name": "jennifer"
18
},
19
{
20
"name": "john"
21

1
[
2
"john",
3
"leonardo",
4
"alicia",
5
"jennifer"
6
]
Let's talk about the solution now. We are going to achieve this in multiple steps as follows:
Step 1 Output:
JSON
xxxxxxxxxx
1
15
9
1
[
2
"john",
3
"leonardo",
4
"leonardo",
5
"alicia",
6
"jennifer",
7
"john"
8
]
In order to get output like this, we will use below code:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
%dw 2.0
2
3
output application/json
4
5
---
6
7
flatten(payload map ((item, index) -> item.name))
Step 2 will have the final output. We will use the below code to achieve the same.
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
%dw 2.0
2
3
output application/json
4
5
---
6
7
flatten(payload map ((item, index) -> item.name)) distinctBy ((item, index) -> item)
Hope this helps improve your DataWeave skills. Thanks!
