Question

I have two payloads and want to merge them into single JSON object (streaming join). At few places people are suggesting to use AttributesToJSON, but as one of the JSON does not

Answer 1

Easy! Just use MergeContent and set the following configuration:

Merge Format: Binary Concatenation
Minimum Number of Entries: 2
Delimiter Strategy: Text
Header: [
Footer: ]
Demarcator: ,

(You could use MergeRecord but it is a little buggy for me at least).

Then transfer to JoltTrasnformJSON and set Jolt Transformation DSL to Shift and Jolt Specification to:

{
    "*": {
      "*": "&"
    }
}

This should do the job :)
