JSON and XML Masking Extension

Mask complex JSON and XML data in Delphix — at every level of nesting.
Axis Technology's JSON and XML Masking Extension extends Delphix to handle complex structured data that standard masking tools cannot process reliably. Mask nested attributes, arrays, elements, and nodes across databases and files — including data stored as Oracle BLOBs, CLOBs, and flat files — with no special expertise required.
Built for data privacy and engineering teams that need accurate masking across complex JSON and XML structures.
Built for data privacy and engineering teams that need consistent, accurate masking across complex JSON and XML structures in production and non-production environments.
THE PROBLEM
Standard masking tools struggle with complex JSON and XML.
Most data masking platforms — including Delphix out of the box — handle simple, column-level relational data well. But they fall short when sensitive data is embedded inside deeply nested JSON or XML structures, stored as BLOBs or CLOBs in relational databases, or spread across polymorphic fields and multi-level hierarchies. Without a solution that understands structure at every level, masking is incomplete, inconsistent, and risky.
The Axis JSON and XML Masking Extension was built specifically to close that gap.

KEY OUTCOMES
What the JSON and XML Masking Extension delivers.
Technical Capabilities
Mask at any depth of nesting. Handle complex JSON and XML structures with nested attributes, arrays, child elements, and multi-level hierarchies that standard tools cannot navigate.
Support for BLOBs, CLOBs, and flat files. Mask JSON and XML data regardless of how it is stored — in Oracle BLOBs and CLOBs, relational columns, or flat file formats.
Maintain referential integrity after masking. Ensure that linked data relationships remain consistent and valid across masked output so downstream systems and applications continue to function correctly.
No special expertise required. Configure and run masking jobs without deep JSON/XML parsing knowledge or custom scripting.
Business Benefits
Enable DevOps and analytics safely. Give development, QA, and analytics teams access to realistic masked data that preserves structure and relationships without exposing sensitive information.
Accelerate compliance in non-production environments. Ensure that test, staging, and development environments meet the same data privacy standards as production.
Reduce manual effort and cost. Replace ad-hoc, error-prone approaches to JSON and XML masking with a repeatable, automated enhancement that scales.
Simplify audit and reporting. Produce consistent, documented masking outcomes that support compliance reviews and regulatory inquiries.

HOW IT WORKS
How the JSON and XML Masking Extension works with Delphix.
Step 1 — Identify
The extension scans JSON and XML data structures to map sensitive fields across all levels of nesting, including arrays, child nodes, and embedded elements stored in BLOBs, CLOBs, or flat files.
Step 2 — Configure
Define masking rules for each sensitive field or pattern. The extension supports standard Delphix masking algorithms alongside custom rules, so existing masking logic and investments carry forward.
Step 3 — Mask
The extension processes each JSON or XML structure and applies the correct masking algorithm at every identified field — regardless of depth, format, or storage type — while preserving structure, syntax, and referential integrity.
Step 4 — Deliver
Masked output is returned in the original format, ready for use in development, testing, analytics, and non-production workflows. No reformatting or post-processing required.
