Parameters and Attributes seems like two really confusing concepts sometimes. Can we have someone clarify the main differences between them? Thank you!

In FME, what's the difference between parameters and attributes?

Think about Configuration vs. Data.
In FME, parameters are settings that configure how data should be processed.
In FME, data is represented as features and attributes. Features are analogous to records in a database table. Attributes are analogous to fields or columns in a database table.

Another way to think about them is that parameters are set before the workspace starts and keep the same value for the duration of the workspace run - they can't be changed. Attribute values are data, and are only set when the workspace actually runs and their values can change during the workspace run.
