NiFi SplitJson, split json when expression condition is met and pass through when condition is not met

[#1]

Hi, I've been trying to get this to work, but am not sure how to complete it.

From a previous SplitJson I have a queue of Flowfiles in these two formats.

{

"s_id": 1000,

"parent": 0,

"items": {

       "2020": {

                "s_id": 2020,

                 "parent": 1000

        },

        "2021": {

                "s_id": 2021,

                "parent": 1000

        }

  }

}

and

{

"s_id": 1001,

"parent": 0

}

I would like to un-nest them further to the Flowfiles.

{

"s_id": 1000,

"parent": 0

}

{

"s_id": 2020,

"parent": 1000

}

{

"s_id": 2021,

"parent": 1000

}

{

"s_id": 1001,

"parent": 0

}

I've tried another SplitJson with a JsonPath expression of $.items[*], however this throws a failure for the json where "items" doesn't exist.

Can someone please guide me on the steps and processors I should be using to complete this task?

Is it possible with some type of conditional statement in the SplitJson JsonPath expression?

Thank you for your help!

To get the result I wanted this is the roundabout process I used. I would imagine there's a better way.
