Hi,

 

 

you can use the XMLFragmenter to split up an attribute containing an XML document into separate features, just like the XML reader.

Thank you.  Seperating the 'Elements to Match' with a whitespace did the trick.

One more thing... How would you flatten a list?  I have this as my xml:

 

...

 

<idAbs>The Transportation District dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent... </idAbs>

 

<searchKeys>

 

     <keyword>transportation</keyword>

 

     <keyword>district</keyword>

 

     <keyword>jurisdiction</keyword>

 

     <keyword>road</keyword>

 

</searchKeys>

 

...

 

Within xmlFlattener I can flatten idAbs just fine but don't know what to put to get each keyword as a list.  I tried searchKeys and expose searckKeys.keyword{} but it didn't work.  After the flattener I pass it into the JSONTemplater with this template:

 

{

 

    "summary" : fme:get-attribute("idAbs"),

 

    "description" : fme:get-attribute("idPurp"),

 

    "credits" : fme:get-attribute("idCredit"),

 

    "tags" : q fme:get-list-attribute("searchKeys.keyword{}") ]

 

}

 

The template is written this way becasue i got it working with an xml file that i read in (as opposed to now where I am reading the xml from a string).  I think there must be some easy way but the documentation is not easy.

I just got it!  What i did was enter searchKeys as the Element to Match in Flatten Paths and then entered keyword{} in the Expose Attribute (on the xmlFlattener).  Then on th eJSONTemplater I used "tags" : fme:get-list-attribute("keyword{}") ].  

 

In case anyone else has this problem.
