Mule collection splitter with JSON

I have a JSON that looks something like the one pasted below. I am trying to extract each individual record and push it onto a queue. How would I extract each record in Mule? I've been trying to use the collection splitter and foreach loop, but I can't figure out how to get this to work. 

{
  "locations": {
    "record": [
      {
        "id": 8817,
        "loc": "NEW YORK CITY"
      },
      {
        "id": 2873,
        "loc": "UNITED STATES"
      },
      {
        "id": 1501,
        "loc": "NEW YORK STATE"
      }
    ]
  }
}
Solution

  • To do this:

    1. Transform the JSON entity to a hierarchy of Java structures
    2. Extract the record list
    3. Split the list

    Now in Mule XML config:

    <json:json-to-object-transformer returnClass="java.util.Map" />
<expression-transformer expression="#[payload.locations.record]" />
<collection-splitter />
