The [**JSONata**](https://camel.apache.org/components/4.10.x/jsonata-component.html) component allows you to process and transform JSON data using the JSONata query language. It enables complex operations such as filtering, transformation, and data aggregation.

**URI Syntax**: `jsonata:resourceUri`

## Main fields

*Path parameters*

| **Name** | **Description** | **Default** | **Type** |
|----------|------------------|------------|----------|
| `resourceUri` (producer)| (required) Path to the resource. You can prefix with: classpath, file, http, ref or bean.  | — | String |

*Query parameters*

| **Name** | **Description** | **Default** | **Type** |
|----------|------------------|------------|----------|
|`contentCache` (producer)  |Defines whether to use resource content cache or not.                  | true    | Boolean |
|`inputType` (producer)    |Specifies whether the input should be Jackson JsonNode or a JSON String. |Jackson  | JsonataInputOutputType |
|`outputType` (producer)   |Specifies whether the output should be Jackson JsonNode or a JSON String.| Jackson | JsonataInputOutputType |

## Example

<Steps>
<Step>
The flow starts with a POST request.
</Step>
<Step>
Then, the request content is transformed using a JSONata expression stored in the `expression.jsonata` file. The parameters indicate that:
   - Transformation results can be cached (`contentCache: true`).
   - The input type for transformation is a JSON string (`inputType: JsonString`).
   - The output type will also be a JSON string (`outputType: JsonString`).
</Step>
<Step>
The result is logged.
</Step>
</Steps>

```yaml
- from:
    uri: rest:post:hello
    steps:
      - to:
          uri: jsonata:classpath:expression.jsonata
          parameters:
            contentCache: true
            inputType: JsonString
            outputType: JsonString
      - to: "log:info"
```
