XML Mask (XmlMaskGenerator)

The XML Mask generator runs a selected generator on values that match a user specified path expression.
Link object structure
For the XML Mask generator, there is a link object for each path expression value to assign a generator to. pathExpression contains the expression, and subGeneratorId identifies the generator to assign to the value for that path expression.
The XML Mask generator does not itself support consistency or differential privacy.
The metadata object is populated from the XmlMaskMetadata object, including:
The sub-generator type to apply to the value from pathExpression.
The subGeneratorMetadata object, which contains the generator configuration for the selected sub-generator.

Example replacement
In the following example replacement for the XML Mask generator:
The Name generator is assigned to the path expression //view/item-descriptor//@display-name. The value is in the format First Name Last Name (John Smith), and capitalization is not preserved. Consistency is disabled.
The Constant generator is assigned to the path expression //view//object-class. The constant value is object-class.
