Description

This example shows how to parse an incoming JSON message and process it using the JavaScript transformer.

Example Use Case

In this example, we send a JSON message containing two numbers to an HTTP endpoint. This Byte Array of data is transformed to a String. The JavaScript transformer then processes the data and adds up the numbers. The sum is then returned to the HTTP endpoint.

Set up and Run the Example

1 Open this example project in studio and run it

2 Use Postman, curl or REST console to make a POST request using JSON. The message body should contain the following data:

{
"a": 3, "b": 4
}

3 If the project is running successfully you should get the following message on your studio console.

INFO  2014-07-02 16:44:34,235 [[javascript-calculator].connector.http.mule.default.receiver.03] org.mule.api.processor.LoggerMessageProcessor: Sum is: 7.0
