1. dw::Core

This module contains all the core data weave functionality. It is automatically imported into any data weave script.

1.1. Functions

1.1.1. ++

++(Array<S>, Array<T>): Array<S | T>

Concatenates the elements of two arrays into a new array.

If the two arrays contain different types of elements, the resulting array is all of S type elements of Array<S> followed by all the T type elements of Array<T>. Either of the arrays can also have mixed-type elements.

Here is an example of concatenating an Array<Number> with an Array<String>:

Transform
1

%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
{
  result: [0, 1, 2] ++ ["a", "b", "c"]
}
Output
1
2
3
{
  "result": [0, 1, 2, "a", "b", "c"]
}

Note that the arrays can contain any supported data type, for example:

Transform
1

6
%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
{
  a: [0, 1, true, "my string"] ++ [2, [3,4,5], {"a": 6}]
}
Output
1
2
3
{
  "a": [0, 1, true, "my string", 2, [3, 4, 5], { "a": 6}]
}
++(String, String): String

Strings are treated as arrays of characters, so the ++ operator concatenates the characters of each String as if they were arrays of single character Strings.

For example, the String "Mule" is treated like the Array<String> ["M", "u", "l", "e"].

Transform
1
2
3
4
5
6
%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
{
  name: "Mule" ++ "Soft"
}
Output
1
2
3
{
  "name": MuleSoft
}
++(Object, Object): Object

Concatenates two input objects together and returns one flattened object.

The ++ operator extracts all the key-values pairs from each object, then combines them together into one result object.

Transform
1
2
3
4
%dw 2.0
output application/xml
---
concat: {aa: "a", bb: "b"} ++ {cc: "c"}
Output

5
6
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<concat>
  <aa>a</aa>
  <bb>b</bb>
  <cc>c</cc>
</concat>

If you leave the output as application/dw, the example above concatenates each key-value pair from the two objects {aa: "a", bb: "b"} ++ {cc: "c"} and returns a single object {aa: "a" , bb: "b", cc: "c"}.

++(Date, LocalTime): LocalDateTime

You can append a Time (or LocalTime) with a Date object to return a more precise Datetime value.

Date and Time instances are written in standard Java notation, surrounded by pipe (|) symbols. The result is a DateTime object in the standard Java format.

{
    "a": "2003-10-01T23:57:59",
    "b": "2003-10-01T23:57:59Z"
}

Note that the order in which the two objects are appended is irrelevant, so logically, a 'Date' + 'Time' will produce the same result as a 'Time' + 'Date'.

++(LocalTime, Date): LocalDateTime

You can append a date to a time (or localtime) object so as to provide a more precise value.

}

Note that the order in which the two objects are appended is irrelevant, so logically, a 'Date' + 'Time' will produce the same result as a 'Time' + 'Date'.

1.1.2.  — 

--(Array<S>, Array<Any>): Array<S>

Returns a new array that removes every occurrence of elements listed in the right-hand side (rhs) array from the left-hand side (lhs) array. The result is that same as iteratively taking lhs - elementN, for each elementN in rhs.

When an element in the lhs array matches one of the values in the rhs array, it is removed. If multiple elements in the lhs array match a value, all matching values are removed from the lhs.

map(Null, (Nothing, Nothing) → Boolean): Null

Helper function that allows map to work with null values

1.1.28. mapObject

mapObject({ (K)?: V }, (V, K, Number) → Object): Object

Similar to Map, but instead of processing only the values of an object, it processes both keys and values as a tuple. Also instead of returning an array with the results of processing these values through the lambda, it returns an object, which consists of a list of the key:value pairs that result from processing both key and value of the object through the lambda.

The lambda is invoked with three parameters: value, key and index. If these parameters are not named, the value is defined by default as $, the key * and the index *$.

}
Note that when you use a parameter to populate one of the keys of your output, as with the case of in this example, you must either enclose it in quote marks or brackets. '' or ($$) are both equally valid.

In the example above, as key and value are not defined, they’re identified by the placeholders $$ and $. For each key:value pair in the input, the key is preserved and the value becomes an object with two properties: one of these is the original value, the other is the result of multiplying this value by a constant that is defined as a directive in the header.

The mapping below performs exactly the same transform, but it defines custom names for the properties of the operation, instead of using $ and $$. Here, 'category' is defined as referring to the original key in the object, and 'money' to the value in that key.

)
Note that when you use a parameter to populate one of the keys of your output, as with the case of category in this example, you must either enclose it in brackets or enclose it in quote marks adding a $ to it, otherwise the name of the property is taken as a literal string. '$category' or (category) are both equally valid.

1.1.29. match

match(String, Regex): Array<String>

Matches a string against a regular expression. It returns an array that contains the entire matching expression, followed by all of the capture groups that match the provided regex.

It can be applied to the result of any evaluated expression, and can return any evaluated expression. See the Match operator in the DataWeave Language Introduction.

{
  "hello": [
    "anniepoint@mulesoft.com",
    "anniepoint",
    "mulesoft"
  ]
}

In the example above, we see that the search regular expression describes an email address. It contains two capture groups, what’s before and what’s after the @. The result is an array of three elements: the first is the whole email address, the second matches one of the capture groups, the third matches the other one.

1.1.39. pluck

pluck({ (K)?: V }, (V, K, Number) → R): Array<R>

Pluck is useful for mapping an object into an array. Pluck is an alternate mapping mechanism to mapObject. Like mapObject, pluck executes a lambda over every key:value pair in its processed object as a tuple, but instead of returning an object, it returns an array, which may be built from either the values or the keys in the object.

The lambda is invoked with three parameters: value, key and index. If these parameters are not named, the value is defined by default as $, the key * and the index *$.

In the example above, we see that the search regular expression describes an email address. It contains two capture groups, what’s before and what’s after the @. The result is an array with two matches, as there are two email addresses in the input string. Each of these matches is an array of three elements, the first is the whole email address, the second matches one of the capture groups, the third matches the other one.

}

Note even though example b can be considered the inverse function to the example b in [zip array], the result is not analogous, since it returns an array of repeated elements instead of a single element. Also note that in example c, since the number of elements in each component of the original array is not consistent, the output only creates as many full arrays as it can, in this case just one.

1.1.62. zip

zip(Array<T>, Array<R>): Array<Array<T | R>>

Given two or more separate lists, the zip function can be used to merge them together into a single list of consecutive n-tuples.

decodeURIComponent(String): String

The decodeURIComponent() function decodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component previously created by encodeURIComponent or by a similar routine.

For an example, see encodeURIComponent.

6.1.6. encodeURI

encodeURI(String): String

The encodeURI() function encodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) by replacing each instance of certain characters by one, two, three, or four escape sequences representing the UTF-8 encoding of the character (will only be four escape sequences for characters composed of two "surrogate" characters).

Assumes that the URI is a complete URI, so does not encode reserved characters that have special meaning in the URI.

encodeURI replaces all characters except the following with the appropriate UTF-8 escape sequences:

Type Includes

Reserved characters

; , / ? : @ & = $

Unescaped characters

alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )

Number sign

#

6.1.7. encodeURIComponent

encodeURIComponent(String): String

The encodeURIComponent() function encodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component by replacing each instance of certain characters by one, two, three, or four escape sequences representing the UTF-8 encoding of the character (will only be four escape sequences for characters composed of two "surrogate" characters).

encodeURIComponent escapes all characters except the following: alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) encodeURIComponent differs from encodeURI in that it encodes reserved characters and the Number sign # of encodeURI:

Type Includes

Reserved characters

Unescaped characters

alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )

Number sign

= dw::util::Diff

This utility module returns calculates the difference between two values and returns the list of differences

== Functions

=== diff

==== diff(Any, Any, { unordered?: Boolean }, String): Diff

Returns the structural diference between two values. It returns an Difference.
When comparing objects it can be either ordered or unordered. By default is ordered this means that two object
