Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this topic.
Features read from Cloudant consist of geometry and a series of attribute values. The feature type of each Cloudant feature is as defined in the Reader Feature Type parameters.
Features written to Cloudant have the destination database as their feature type, and attributes as defined in the IBM Cloudant Writer: Feature Type Parameters.
Cloudant attribute names and values support full UTF-8.
Cloudant attribute types are listed in IBM Cloudant Writer: User Attributes.
