Bloblang Authoring

Acerca de

This skill empowers developers to build complex data transformations using Bloblang, the native mapping language for Redpanda Connect. It streamlines the authoring process by providing structured access to hundreds of built-in functions and methods through auto-generated reference documentation. Users can easily map fields, parse various data formats like JSON or XML, handle nested structures, and implement robust error recovery patterns. By integrating a dedicated testing workflow, the skill ensures that scripts are validated against real sample data before deployment, significantly reducing iteration time and ensuring production-ready transformation logic.
