Use case
Deserialization of data can be defined as the process of transforming a string into a data object of a distinct type. The following data types are supported by the Alumio Deserialize mapper- JSON, NDJSON, XML, cXML, YAML or encode URL.
Note: When using Compressed Deserializer, the following file formats are supported in Alumio: .tar.gz, .gz, zip.
For instance, let’s imagine a scenario where XML data is retrieved as a string and you have to convert it into an object. With Alumio, it is possible to use this data as entity data.
