Section – Rewrite Response Body (JSON only)

Airlock Gateway provides a JSON content rewriter for values in JSON documents.

• Recommended use:
• Use JSONPath (XPath for JSON) and content pattern (which work as regular expressions) to rewrite any URLs of the JSON content.

Rewrite rules may contain rewrite variables for URLs. This can be achieved by using a content pattern, i.e., (?<URL>).

The type specifier ?<URL> right after the opening parenthesis indicates a URL. If URL encryption is enabled, this URL will also be encrypted.

Examples:

$..url

(?<URL>.*)

$1

$..url

^(https?://)%BACKENDHOST%/%BACKENDPATH%(/.*)?$

$1%ENTRYHOST%/%ENTRYPATH%$2

$.data.services[:].name

To define which field to rewrite, JSON Path syntax is used.

JSON Document:

  { 
    "data": { 
        "services": [ 
            { 
                "name": "path1", 
                "url": "http://backend-server/path1" 
            }, 
            { 
                "name": "path2", 
                "url": "http://backend-server/path2" 
            } 
        ] 
    } 
  }

JSON Paths:

  * $.data.services[0].name 
    selects the value "path1" 
  * $.*.services[0].name 
    selects the value "path1" 
  * $.data.services[:].name 
    selects the values ["path1", "path2"] 
  * $..url 
    selects all URLs
