Mapping Processor

The Mapping Processor is the only processor that is necessary to the processing chain. It specifies which RAS message attributes fit where in the cue point. It also specifies default values and allows us to overwrite existing cue attributes.

Param name	Mandatory	Description	Default Value	Possible Value
key	Yes	Name of the attribute we will be assigning to.		Not null.
value	Yes	Source of the attribute value. This can be any static string, or it can be a combination of RAS message attributes (specified by `{}`). E.g.: `{song} played by {artist}`		Not null.
override	No	Assign attribute even if attribute already has a value.	false	true, false.
