Source and Target Properties

Source and Target Properties

The
source
and
target
properties exist in components such as the following:
  • In parsers:
    Parser Group RepeatingGroup EnclosedGroup FindReplaceAnchor
  • In serializers:
    Serializer GroupSerializer RepeatingGroupSerializer
  • In mappers:
    Mapper GroupMapping RepeatingGroupMapping
In all these categories, the meaning and usage of the properties is identical:
  • The
    source
    property identifies existing data holders that a transformation should use.
  • The
    target
    property identifies data holders that may or may not already exist. If they exist, the transformation uses them. If they do not exist, the transformation creates them.
After you define the
source
and/or the
target
, the subsequent components use the identified data holders. For example, if you define the
target
of a
Group
, the anchors nested within the
Group
use the data holders that the
target
identifies.
There are properties called
source
and
target
in some other components such as
Map
. These properties have a different meaning and usage from the above. For an explanation, please see the components where the properties are used.
