Is there a way to cache or create object variables for use in mapping functions?

Question

I'm creating an HTTP Listener based channel with xml/json input. I'm trying to parse the json in the source content node into an object that can be used across multiple mapping functions without reparsing in each function.

I have seen examples where the json structure is traversed, and copied into messageCache variables. I am trying to find an object based approach, in which the json is parsed once, and that allows the more natural object based dot notation.

Create a script variable that can be set by your payload result and then referenced by any other functions.

Set the script variable

Check the value of the script variable
