Transforming XML fields

When transforming XML to JSON you may run into a couple of difficulties:

XML only allows one root element, while JSON allows multiple.
There is no array concept in XML (only repeated elements), however the JSON
data structure is based on arrays and objects.
To overcome these issues, DataWeave provides the following solutions:

To transform XML repeated elements into a JSON array, use the asterisk “*”
DataWeave selector to create it.
As JSON could have multiple root elements, you don’t have to do anything
specific to generate the output.

Only HTTP Listner

*****DataWeave script to an external file DataWeave json_flight_playground*****
a new file json_flight_playground.dwl will be created under src/main/resources.

when you post josn message, and if tranform message has output application/java
then payload will have linkedhashmap
