Perl Manipulators

Perl manipulator components perform data transformation, including changing properties and property values, deleting records with particular properties, and so on. Perl manipulators use the Forge API for Perl to perform these tasks.

Java Manipulators

Java manipulator components perform data transformation, including changing properties and property values, deleting records with particular properties, and so on. Java manipulators use Java to perform these tasks. You add Java manipulators to Developer Studio similar to how you add Perl manipulators.

Record Manipulators

Record manipulator components provide support, such as URL extraction, for the Endeca Crawler, that allows you to crawl document hierarchies on a file system or over HTTP or HTTPS.
