    Once you run the pipeline, the file is stored in the same project space where the pipeline is located. You can download the file, and the data will be in human-readable format.

    The Directory Browser Snap on the output in the $Name it references the Name of the file on that location.

  1. If you connect one snap with another data will automatically pass.
  2. Document is nothing but Json object, snaplogic platform internally convert it’s input as json.Let say you connect SFDC, you can see the output of this snap as json format.
  3. Document view means round shape, like mapper snap you can found both input and output views are round shape by default. For diamond shape you can refer file writer snap, which is called binary view.
  4. Expression is nothing but snaplogic scripting language like java scrpit. For and example if you want current date-time , you can use Date.now().

For very basic can go through https://www.snaplogic.com/community-videos/01_Introduction_to_SnapLogic_Enterprise_Integration_Cloud_and_the_Designer.mp4

Just to clarify that, JSON is the default serialization format used by SnapLogic when data has to be serialized on the wire (for passing data across nodes) or for display to the user. For a regular pipeline execution, say data read from an XML file, with some transformation and then converted to CSV, there is no JSON involved. Documents are the data records/tuples/rows which flow between snaps, there is no JSON involved in that data flow unless data serialization is required.

      Thanks @Spiro_Taleski, after looking at the output generated by the snap, I was able to identify the column names being generated by the tool, which are the ones I can refer to with $.
