Create custom pipelines to process JSON messages

BizTalk Server provides pipeline components that can be used to process JSON messages within a BizTalk Server application. In this step, we use those pipeline components to create custom pipelines that can be used when configuring a BizTalk Server application.

Create a custom receive pipeline

1. In the BizTalk Server application, from the Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and point to Add > New Item > Receive Pipeline. Provide the pipeline name as JSONToXmlReceivePipeline.btp, and then click Add.

2. Within the Decode stage add the new JSON decoder. In the other stages and other pipeline components as shown in the screenshot, and save changes.

   

Create a custom send pipeline

1. In the BizTalk Server application, from the Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and point to Add > New Item > Send Pipeline. Provide the pipeline name as XmlToJSONSendPipeline.btp, and then click Add.

2. Within the Encode stage add the new JSON encoder. In the other stages and other pipeline components as shown in the screenshot, and save changes.
