Converts a Binary Avro record into a JSON object. This processor provides a direct mapping of an Avro field to a JSON field, such that the resulting JSON will have the same hierarchical structure as the Avro document. Note that the Avro schema information will be lost, as this is not a translation from binary Avro to JSON formatted Avro. The output JSON is encoded the UTF-8 encoding. If an incoming FlowFile contains a stream of multiple Avro records, the resultant FlowFile will contain a JSON Array containing all of the Avro records or a sequence of JSON Objects. If an incoming FlowFile does not contain any records, an empty JSON object is the output. Empty/Single Avro record FlowFile inputs are optionally wrapped in a container as dictated by 'Wrap Single Record'

| Display Name | API Name | Default Value | Allowable Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JSON container options | JSON container options | array |
| Determines how stream of records is exposed: either as a sequence of single Objects (none) (i.e. writing every Object to a new line), or as an array of Objects (array). |
| Wrap Single Record | Wrap Single Record | false |
| Determines if the resulting output for empty records or a single record should be wrapped in a container array as specified by 'JSON container options' |
| Avro schema | Avro schema | If the Avro records do not contain the schema (datum only), it must be specified here. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| success | A FlowFile is routed to this relationship after it has been converted to JSON |
| failure | A FlowFile is routed to this relationship if it cannot be parsed as Avro or cannot be converted to JSON for any reason |
