Candidates:
- https://ballerina.io/learn/vs-code-extension/implement-the-c... Data Mapper is pretty spot on, but is ballerina, a language I'm not familiar with yet. Does this exist for Javascript?
- https://www.postman.com/product/flows/ - can this do object mapping or only "steps" of the flow?
- Another one I found just now, but it's not "visual" https://jolt-demo.appspot.com/#incept

I believe you can achieve that with n8n. Used in past (and still running) for some data transformation and little more. Possibly similar case what are you describing.
For building integrations between APIs I'm often faced with stichting those apis together and transforming the data.
Situation: I have some source json, from some APIs/webhooks and some target json how I need to send it out
Complication: I need to transform it and re-map the fields. Depending on the complexity of the objects that might require some fiddling
Solution: I'd love a visual data mapper that allows me to
1. see the source and target spec 2. example values maybe even API descriptions 3. create simple transformation with Type/Javascript, JQ, JMESpath or similar 4. connect the target and source values visually 5. documentation - the visual aspect is important to help readers, as this is easier to understand/digest the integration, not only "build" it. Also it serves as a kind of todo-list. It's easy to see if something isn't mapped yet.
Any recommendations?
