This phase takes the raw data from each Slice (e.g., a line of text) and parses it into a structured, usable format (e.g., named fields).
- Key Extract Rules:
- CSV Extract: Maps columns from a CSV Slice to named fields. The CSV Extract Rule Editor includes an “Add 5 Rows” button to quickly add multiple mapping rows and automatically removes any empty rows when you apply the rules, improving data quality. (ref: 1.192)
- JSON Extract: Extracts values from a JSON Slice using JSONPath or simple dot notation and maps them to named fields.
- XML Extract: Extracts values from an XML Slice using XPath and maps them to named fields.
