Copy using an accessor

If there is no reason to keep the original data, it is better to use Move data. For example, this can be particularly handy when a target system requires a shipping and a billing address, but the source system only provides a shipping address. In this case, the Accessor-copy can be put to work to clone the shipping address to a billing address field.

The different parts of the transformer

• Source (required field) An accessor that can be used to find data in the context data based on a path. See Patterns for an overview of pattern syntax.
• Destination (required field) This functions similarly to the Source but helps determine where the data needs to be pasted within the entity.
• Strip enclosures from keys Enclosures are used when a key contains a dot (e.g., product.name becomes “product.name”). When the enclosure is stripped, the key is interpreted as a path if the destination is a pattern or key accessor.
