-----------------------------------
Summary: Provide processor to convert between standard encodings
Key: NIFI-2997
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2997
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
A common request is to convert some data between ASCII, hexadecimal, binary,
etc. format. While I am generally not a fan of "catch-all" processors and would
usually suggest following the NiFi precedent/'Unix tool mentality", the
conversion between these encodings is a similar process, so I think a single
processor with selectable input and output formats is sufficient here. In
actuality, I would suggest the core functionality be captured in a
library/service with pluggable implementations and then be exposed to one
processor for content conversion and one for attribute conversion. If
{{Base64}} is included, this could replace the
[{{Base64EncodeContent}}|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.Base64EncodeContent/index.html]
processor (or it could at least be marked as {{@Deprecated}}).
