All, thanks to the wonderful people at Safe I now have the answer to this!!! It's possible to pass in multiple JSON updates under a single statement using a list and a JSON_Templater. The following assumes you have a list named domain.codedValues{}. The code is the value in the JSON attribute and the name is the description to decode to.

{|

for $c at $i in fme:get-list-attribute("domain.codedValues{}.code")

let $names := fme:get-list-attribute("domain.codedValues{}.name")

return { $c : $names[$i] }

|}

This creates a decoding table that can be applied to an attribute in JSON using the JSON Updater with the following statement. The FIELD_NAME and code_map columns need to be supplied in the update record in order to use this statement. But once done any number of updates can be passed to the same field reducing the number of updates to a single JSON package.

fme:get-json-attribute("code_map")(xs:string($x(fme:get-attribute("FIELD_NAME"))))

Note that this is not being applied to individual records containing JSON but to a single FME Object with a JSON containing 2,000 different records. The performance went from 12 minutes per 2k to 8 seconds.

THANKS AGAIN SAFE!!!
