How do I turn array items into an object in SnapLogic

Question

In SnapLogic, I have an input JSON like the one below, it appears to be an array. I am trying to put it into a structure where it is an object called "remitLocations" composed of an array of addresses containing the following items. I have been trying to use mapper and structure snaps to do this. I also tried using JSON and XML generators to give it the structure I want, but so far nothing has worked.

Note: Answer contains two solutions. The bottom one seems to be a better solution because you use only one snap.

Solution #1

Use JSON Formatter to aggregate the incoming documents into a single JSON. Then use a Binary to Document Snap with encoding/decoding set to None. After that, you can just parse the content and put it under any field name in a mapper.

Sample Pipeline:

Binary to Document:

Final Mapper:

Output:

Notes

No configuration was changed in the JSON Formatter
Setting encoding/decoding to None in the Binary to Document Snap is important
Parse the content like - JSON.parse($content)

Solution #2

There is actually a better way to do it - Use the "Group By N Snap with Target Field as remitLocations and Group Size as 0.
