The New Workspace

Format

A new workspace reads from left to right, from the source (Reader) feature types, through to the destination (Writer) feature types. Arrows denote the direction of data flow:

In the above screenshot, eight feature types are being read from one format and written to another.

NOTE

In most cases FME uses the terms 'Reader' and 'Writer' instead of 'Source’ and ‘Destination.' So a Reader reads datasets and a Writer writes datasets, in terms analogous to source/destination and input/output.
