The CADK API is a collection of Java classes that provides developers with a flexible mechanism for adding content adapters and Java manipulators to the pipeline.
You can use different methods to prepare, change or clean your data, and to efficiently manipulate records as part of Forge data processing. The CADK lets you create your own ways of transforming both the incoming data, and the records themselves.
With the CADK API, you can create:
Content adapters in Java, in order to transform the incoming source data.
Note
The kit contains a sample content adapter.
Java manipulators to modify the records that have already been preprocessed by existing components in your pipeline. For example, you can add properties to the records, or modify them in other ways.
