ABSTRACT:
A mapping engine is provided to populate data elements of a first data structure of a first data representation with values of corresponding data elements of a second data structure of a second data representation, in accordance with at least a mapping specification. The two data structures may have different data shapes. The mapping specification may have a number of data element and data attribute mapping directives, including repeating data items. A population operation in a reversed direction may also be performed using the same mapping specification. The mapping specification may also specify an external mapping specification for a subset of the mapping operations. The external mapping specification may comprise unidirectional function pairs. In one embodiment, the mapping engine performs order dependent mapping facilitating the use of separate mapping rules for different instances of the same data element based upon the relative position of the data element instances within an input data structure.
