Talend Data Mapper - Does a Map Representation always require a row-element?
Hello everyone,
I am using tHMaps mainly to generate or parse JSON objects for or from a REST webservice. Oftentimes the counter part is a Map representation (Data ingetration column schema). The challenge I have is, that the Map representation requires a row-element underneath the root element. As a result I have to create two structures one for the Map representation, which requires the additional row-element and one for the JSON representation which cannot deal with the additional row-element as this does not correspond with the required structure.
I was wondering if there is a better way, as the approach with two structures will mulitply my metadata at least by two, which makes maintenance a lot harder?
I already tried to set the root-element as row-element in the structure's properties, but that did not work. Moreover, I tried to define the row element as "not visible group" but that only worked for the JSON representation but not for the Map representation.
