Creating a Serializer Overview

In this lesson, you create an empty Data Processor transformation with the Developer tool. After you create a Data Processor transformation, you add a Script object with a Serializer.

Lesson Concepts

After you create an empty Data Processor transformation, you can create and configure different Script components to transform data from one format to another format.

A Serializer converts an XML or JSON file to an output document in any format. Serialization is the opposite of parsing. For example, the output of a Serializer can be a text document, an HTML document, or even another XML document.

Serialization anchors are the main components in a serializer. Serialization anchors read data from locations in the source document and write the data to XML.

A ContentSerializer
writes the content of a data holder to the output document. A StringSerializer
writes a predefined string to the output.
