Json value from a Kv parser

[leonardoPQX]

Hello, I am doing something similar to this configuration:

{
    "name": "sample-search-issues.jira.http.source",
    "config": {
        "connector.class": "com.github.castorm.kafka.connect.http.HttpSourceConnector",
        "tasks.max": "1",
        "http.offset.initial": "timestamp=2020-05-08T07:55:44Z",
        "http.request.url": "https://your-host-here/rest/api/2/search",
        "http.request.headers": "Accept: application/json",
        "http.request.params": "jql=updated>=\"${offset.timestamp?datetime.iso?string['yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm']}\" ORDER BY updated ASC&maxResults=100",
        "http.auth.type": "Basic",
        "http.auth.user": "username",
        "http.auth.password": "password",
        "http.response.list.pointer": "/issues",
        "http.response.record.offset.pointer": "key=/id, timestamp=/fields/updated",
        "http.timer.interval.millis": "30000",
        "http.timer.catchup.interval.millis": "1000",
        "kafka.topic": "topic"
    }
}

But I was expecting to get the values in a Json format but I am getting the values in /issues as a string.

I tried it like that:

    'connector.class' = 'com.github.castorm.kafka.connect.http.HttpSourceConnector',
    'tasks.max' = '1', 
    'kafka.topic' = 'vs_inventory', 
    'http.request.url': 'https://your-host-here/rest/api/2/search',
    'http.request.params' = 'eventDateFrom=\${.now?string(\"yyyy-MM-dd\")}', 
    'http.request.method' = 'GET', 
    'http.response.record.parser' = 'com.github.castorm.kafka.connect.http.response.jackson.JacksonKvRecordHttpResponseParser', 
    'http.timer.interval.millis' = '18000', 
    'output.data.format' = 'JSON', 
    'http.response.list.pointer' = '/rows', 
    'http.response.record.offset.pointer' = 'key=/id, timestamp=/lastUpdate', 
    'http.response.status.success.codes' = '200', 
    'http.response.retry.status.codes' = '400,429,500,502,503,504', 
    'value.converter' = 'org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter', 
    'internal.value.converter' = 'org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter', 
    'value.converter.schemas.enable' = 'false' 

Is there an existing way to accomplish this? without extending what we have now?

should I use Transformations or any other parser/mapper?

Thank you a lot
