Make it easier to work with JSON/XML result from REST Service call

With REST web services, generally they return JSON/XML, which I then need to manipulate into attributes.

The pattern of work is often:

  1. Add Creator, HTTPCaller, Logger/Inspector
  2. Run workspace
  3. Inspect returned JSON/XML - determine if need to fragment and flatten or only flatten.
  4. Add JSONFragmenter or JSONFlattener or XML equivalent and Logger/Inspector.
  5. Run workspace.
  6. Inspect attributes created from flattening.
  7. Expose attribute names that were created by flattening.

I wish this was less work.
