Mule ESB can split a large message into smaller parts using a Splitter flow control component. This allows large messages containing repeating elements, like a list, to be broken into individual fragments that can then be processed separately. The document demonstrates using a Splitter to break up a JSON payload containing an array of "events" into separate logs of each event's ID and timestamp, handling the large list efficiently. Splitters are useful for processing large repeating data in XML or JSON payloads.
![Let us consider we have following JSON data as input:-
{
"getInsertOperation": {
"getInsertContext": {
"messageId": "21",
"messageDateTime": "2014-08-17T14:07:30+0521"
},
"getInsertBody": {
"getInsertRequest": {
"userId": "test123",
"events": [
{
"eventId": 1,
"eventTimestamp": "2015-06-17T14:07:30+0521"
},
{
"eventId": 2,
"eventTimestamp": "2014-12-17T14:07:30+0521"
},
{
"eventId": 0,
"eventTimestamp": "2013-08-17T14:07:30+0521"
}
]
}
}
}

Splitting with mule part2
- 1. By Anirban Sen Chowdhary
- 2. Mule ESB has the ability to split a long and big message into small parts. It can be done by Mule Splitter . The Splitter Flow Control splits a message into separate fragments, then sends these fragments one at a time to the next message processor in the flow. So, ultimately Splitter a breaks a huge and large message into small part and that small part can be handled individually. In last post we have seen this splitter with an XML input.. This part we will see it with a JSON input
- 4. Let us consider we have following JSON data as input:- { "getInsertOperation": { "getInsertContext": { "messageId": "21", "messageDateTime": "2014-08-17T14:07:30+0521" }, "getInsertBody": { "getInsertRequest": { "userId": "test123", "events": [ { "eventId": 1, "eventTimestamp": "2015-06-17T14:07:30+0521" }, { "eventId": 2, "eventTimestamp": "2014-12-17T14:07:30+0521" }, { "eventId": 0, "eventTimestamp": "2013-08-17T14:07:30+0521" } ] } } } }
- 5. Now, you can this JSON has a list of elements as eventId and eventTimestamp which is repeating. So, in this case we will be splitting the JSON and log all the eventId and eventTimestamp in console
- 6. So, you can see we have used Mule Splitter component to split the input JSON. When we will pass the JSON request to the TestFlow , it will call the AsyncFlow where all the splitting and logging will take place
- 7. The Mule config will be :- You can see that splitter is splitting JSON array and after that it is logging all the eventId and eventTimestamp in a logger
- 8. So, if we test the example and post the input JSON as following in the url http://localhost:8081/test in a REST client :-
- 9. And we will get all the values of eventId and eventTimestamp in the logger along with the total node count :-
- 10. So, here you can see how to use a Mule splitter and split the large payload into smaller independent value whether it is in XML or in JSON format. It’s pretty simple and effective in handling larges set of data
- 11. In my next slide I will bring some other techniques in Mule implementation . Hope you have enjoyed this simpler version. Keep sharing your knowledge and let our Mule community grow
