Introduction
FME 2025.0 introduced combined spatial and non-spatial readers and writers. Readers such as Oracle Spatial Object and Oracle Non-Spatial are one reader called Oracle. A similar naming scheme is for the writer.
Having nearly identical readers and writers for spatial and non-spatial data was deemed to be confusing, especially for new users and users who are not working with spatial data. Combining spatial and non-spatial together will reduce errors in users selecting an incorrect format.
The functionality of the readers and writers remains the same, and spatial data can be processed with the renamed reader and writer.
This list has been updated to FME 2025.2 and will be updated as more readers and writers are combined and renamed.
