# Map Data with DataWeave

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

This DataWeave example uses the DataWeave `map` function to iterate through an array of books and
perform a series of tasks on each.

The example uses these DataWeave functions:

- `map` to go through each object in the `books` array.

- `as` to coerce the price data into a Number type, which ensures that the transformation generates
  the correct type for each element.

DataWeave Script:

```dataweave
%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
items: payload.books map (item, index) -> {
      book: item mapObject (value, key) -> {
      (upper(key)): value
      }
}
```

Input JSON Payload:

```json
{
  "books": [
    {
      "-category": "cooking",
      "title": "Everyday Italian",
      "author": "Giada De Laurentiis",
      "year": "2005",
      "price": "30.00"
    },
    {
      "-category": "children",
      "title": "Harry Potter",
      "author": "J K. Rowling",
      "year": "2005",
      "price": "29.99"
    },
    {
      "-category": "web",
      "title": "XQuery Kick Start",
      "author": [
        "James McGovern",
        "Per Bothner",
        "Kurt Cagle",
        "James Linn",
        "Vaidyanathan Nagarajan"
      ],

      "author": "Erik T. Ray",
      "year": "2003",
      "price": "39.95"
    }
  ]
}
```

Output JSON:

```json
{
  "items": [
    {
      "book": {
        "-CATEGORY": "cooking",
        "TITLE": "Everyday Italian",
        "AUTHOR": "Giada De Laurentiis",
        "YEAR": "2005",
        "PRICE": "30.00"
      }
    },
    {
      "book": {
        "-CATEGORY": "children",
        "TITLE": "Harry Potter",
        "AUTHOR": "J K. Rowling",
        "YEAR": "2005",
        "PRICE": "29.99"
      }
    },
    {
      "book": {
        "-CATEGORY": "web",
        "TITLE": "XQuery Kick Start",
        "AUTHOR": [
          "James McGovern",
          "Per Bothner",
          "Kurt Cagle",
          "James Linn",
          "Vaidyanathan Nagarajan"
        ],
        "YEAR": "2003",
        "PRICE": "49.99"
      }
    },
    {
      "book": {
        "-CATEGORY": "web",
        "-COVER": "paperback",
        "TITLE": "Learning XML",
        "AUTHOR": "Erik T. Ray",
        "YEAR": "2003",
        "PRICE": "39.95"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

> [!TIP] Note that when a book has multiple authors, `item.author` evaluates to the entire array of
> authors instead of a single name.

## Using Default Values

The following example performs the same transformation as above, but it doesn’t explicitly define
the properties "item" and "index". Instead, it calls them through the default names: `$` and `$$`
respectively.

DataWeave Script:

```dataweave
%dw 2.0
output application/json
---
items: (payload.books map {
      category: "book",
      price: $.price as Number,
      id: $$,
      properties: {
        title: $.title,
        author: $.author,
        year: $.year as Number
      }
})
```

Input JSON Payload:

```json
{
  "books": [
    {
      "-category": "cooking",
      "title": {
        "-lang": "en",
        "#text": "Everyday Italian"
      },
      "author": "Giada De Laurentiis",
      "year": "2005",
      "price": "30.00"
    },
    {
      "-category": "children",
      "title": {
        "-lang": "en",
        "#text": "Harry Potter"
      },
      "author": "J K. Rowling",
      "year": "2005",
      "price": "29.99"
    },
    {
      "-category": "web",
      "title": {
        "-lang": "en",
        "#text": "XQuery Kick Start"
