Pre-Processing/Post-Processing Mashables with Mashups
Pre-processing and post-processing for mashables commonly involves tasks such as decoding encrypted data, encrypting data, decompressing or compressing data, filtering data or data scrubbing. You can handle these types of requirements with a mashup that uses scripting to invoke pre- or post-processing code.
Tip: It is a good practice to design pre- or post-processing code as its own service that can be invoked by many mashups.
