That said, I believe `sensorParserConfig.getFieldMappings()` should always return a non-null `List<MappingHandler>` (per the default init in that class -> `fieldMappings = new ArrayList<>()`) Maybe simplify line 82-84 to this? ``` if(sensorParserConfig != null) { for(MappingHandler handler: sensorParserConfig.getFieldMappings()) { ... } } ``` Also, might be worth a small test to see if line 85 handler null check can also go away.
