Exclude Fields from the Output

DataWeave 2.1 is compatible with Mule 4.1. Standard Support for Mule 4.1 ended on November 2, 2020, and this version of Mule will reach its End of Life on November 2, 2022, when Extended Support ends.

Deployments of new applications to CloudHub that use this version of Mule are no longer allowed. Only in-place updates to applications are permitted.

MuleSoft recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of Mule 4 that is in Standard Support so that your applications run with the latest fixes and security enhancements.

This DataWeave example excludes specific XML elements from the output. You might perform a task like this to remove sensitive data.

The example uses these functions:

  • - to remove specific key:value pairs (here, the ssn and password XML elements).

  • mapObject to go through the XML elements.
