Example

The XML input is a family tree. The input contains
Person
 elements that are recursively nested as shown: 
<Person>       <!-- Parent -->
  ...
  <Person>     <!-- Child -->
    ...
    <Person>   <!-- Grandchild -->
      ...
    </Person>
  </Person>
</Person>
A
Mapper
 can use an
EmbeddedMapper
 component to call itself recursively until all levels of nesting are exhausted.
In this example,
Person
 is connected to
Person/Person
. This instructs the secondary instance of the Mapper to process a nested level of the input. When the two
Person
 elements have the same data type, it is sufficient to connect just the parent element (
Person
), and not the nested elements
(Person/*s/Name, Person/*s/BirthDate
, etc.)
