JSON Parser Stage

Important
 This stage is deprecated. Please use Forked Apache Tika Parser Stage instead.

JSON parsing converts JSON content from a single document field into one or more new documents. This parser uses Solr’s JsonRecordReader to split JSON into sub-documents.

Tip
 When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.

JSON stage-specific properties

type: array of string

includePath

inheritMediaTypes

Match default media types in this Parser Stage

Each parser stage has a built-in list of media types it handles by default. If this setting is true, that list will be used along with any optional additional types provided in the mediaTypes list. If this setting is false, this stage will only be selected for media types in the mediaTypes list, and the mediaTypes list becomes a mandatory property which must have at least one valid media type.

type: boolean

default value: 'true'
listHandling

JSON List handling

Create a single multivalued field containing all items, or a separate index-numbered field per list item?
