JsonPath create from path on the fly - java

I'm using https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath, I want to set fields that might not be yet set in the document. For example: doc.set(JsonPath.compile("$.some.array[0].value"), "abc"); on an {} document would result in:
{
"some": {
"array": [
{
"value": "abc"
}
]
}
}
I was thinking of trying to using the the compiled path, and get access to the path tokens to work my way through the document, but it doesn't seem that they are accessible. Is there any good way or alternative way of doing this?

Solr synonym.txt adding at elasticsearch

I have already a working synonym.txt in solr. Now I want to add that same txt file at elasticsearch. What can I do for it? At solr it was easy, I just kept that file in the system. At elasticsearch I added this and also run some command, but it is not working.
PUT /test_index
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"synonym": {
"tokenizer": "whitespace",
"filter": [ "synonym" ]
}
},
"filter": {
"synonym": {
"type": "synonym",
"synonyms_path": "analysis/synonym.txt"
}
}
}
}
}
}
What's wrong? Do I need to index it again or do I need to map this with any field? My search result depends on multiple fields.
Hope you have applied your synonym on your existing fields in your ES mapping, you have just provided your index setting, and you need to provide the index mapping to confirm it.
Also adding an analyzer to the existing field is a breaking change and you have to reindex the data again to see the updated tokens.
You must use Analyze API to see the updated tokens on your index, Also please cross-check if you have added the synonym.txt properly and there was no error while creating the index setting with this file.

best way to do data driven testing with different req body using rest assured java

I have a request body like
{
"Data": {
"Permissions": [
"ReadOnly"
],
"CreationTime": "2099-09-14T10:28:33.722Z",
},
"standards": { },
"testing":{ }
}
I want to run a data driven testing using rest assured where I pass different values for permissions and creation time etc.. What is the best way to do that ? I want to have only one request model but need to write a helper method to change the values by passing the field key name and value .
Very much appreciate your help
Either you can create property file (something like inputdata.properties) or using excel sheet also you can call the data and iterate through all the rows of excel sheet. You can follow below link :-

JSON pretty print customization

I'm writing a tool to modify huge json file in groovy. I read this file, add new entry and save, but I'would like to avoid changes in places I didn't touch.
I'm using new JsonBuilder( o ).toPrettyString() to get pretty formatted json output, but this function gives me result like this:
{
"key": "Foo",
"items": [
{
"Bar1": 1
},
{
"Bar2": 2
}
]
}
when I need to get this:
{
"key": "Foo",
"items":
[
{
"Bar1": 1
},
{
"Bar2": 2
}
]
}
There should be newline before [.
It's important to me, because in other way I cannot find in GIT history, what I really changed.
Do you have any idea how to achieve this?
The JsonBuilder method toPrettyString() delegates directly to JsonOutput.prettyPrint() as follows:
public String toPrettyString() {
return JsonOutput.prettyPrint(toString());
}
The latter method is not really customizable at all. However, the source is freely available from any Maven central repository or mirror. I would suggest finding the source and creating your own variant of the method that behaves the way you would like it to. The source for JsonOutput.prettyPrint() is only about 65 lines long and shouldn't be that hard to change.

Creating Java Object with reserved keywords as variable name

I have JSON that needs to be converted to a Java Object. The JSONs I need to handle can look like this:
{
"documents": [
{
"title": "Jobs",
"is-saved": false,
"abstract": "<span class=\"hit\">Jobs</span> may refer to:\n\n* Steve <span class=\"hit\">Jobs</span> (1955–2011), co-founder and former CEO of consumer electronics company...<br />",
"id": "Jobs",
"url": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs"
}
],
"keywords_local": [
{
"keyword": "Jobs",
"interest": 1,
"angle": 0
}
],
"sessionid": "6cd6402e-1f67-45a8-b0fa-e79a5d0d50f4",
"q": "Jobs",
}
This JSON is returned when entering a search keyword on a searchengine, in this case "Jobs". I have not named these variables-to-be-created, this JSON was just "given" to me from a similar earlier app. So I'm obviously having trouble with variables is-saved and abstract. Abstract is a reserved keyword and everywhere I read a reserved keyword CANNOT be used as a variable name.
I do not have access to the previous app that I am sort of updating and I guess the point to that is that I need to figure it out by myself ;) But I am a bit of a stand still now, have no idea of how to move forward.
I'm a newbie, so do not give me hell if I'm asking a stupid question, it's my first time coding any sort of app! ;)
Thanks for any help!
If you use GSON for parsing you can name your members as you want and annotate them for mapping.
#SerializedName("abstract")
private String abstractText;
Another option you've got is to use Jackson, and use the #JsonProperty annotation..
#JsonProperty("abstract")
private String abstractText;
In fact, it depends on the tool you are using. With tools mapping directly to your custom POJO (like GSON, Jackson), you need to map your JSON field name with your Java correct and valid field name.
If you use a mors basic library such as JSON.org's, there is no need to do so because you parse it to specific object allowing you to handle it.
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(" .... ");
JSONArray arr = obj.getJSONArray("documents");
String abstractValue = arr.getJSONObject(0).getString("abstract");

Decipher JSON response googles topic api

I am using goggle's search api to get topics id which is used to get JSON response from topic api.The returned response looks like this
{
"id":"/m/01d5g",
"property":{
"/amusement_parks/ride_theme/rides":{...},
"/award/ranked_item/appears_in_ranked_lists":{...},
"/book/book_character/appears_in_book":{
"valuetype":"object",
"values":[
{
"text":"Inferno",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/0g5qs3",
"creator":"/user/duck1123",
"timestamp":"2010-02-11T04:00:59.000Z"
},
{
"text":"Batman: Year One",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/0hzz_1h",
"creator":"/user/anasay",
"timestamp":"2012-01-25T11:05:03.000Z"
},
{
"text":"Batman: The Dark Knight Returns",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/0hzz_sb",
"creator":"/user/anasay",
"timestamp":"2012-01-25T11:22:17.001Z"
},
{
"text":"Batman: Son of the Demon",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/071l77",
"creator":"/user/wikimapper",
"timestamp":"2013-07-11T15:20:32.000Z"
},
{
"text":"Joker",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/04zxvhs",
"creator":"/user/wikimapper",
"timestamp":"2013-07-11T16:58:37.000Z"
},
{
"text":"Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth",
"lang":"en",
"id":"/m/0b7hyw",
"creator":"/user/wikimapper",
"timestamp":"2013-07-11T19:26:54.000Z"
}
],
"count":6.0
},
"/book/book_subject/works":{...},
"/comic_books/comic_book_character/cover_appearances":{...},
...
}
}
I want to decipher this so that i can get relevant information such as, "/book/book_character/appears_in_book" itself is a property for response and only required value that i want from it is "text" and "id" e.g. "text":"Batman: Year One" and "id":"/m/0hzz_1h".
Since the response does not have fixed properties, and which may varying according to response id. how can i covert this JSON response in java Class where i can store "/book/book_character/appears_in_book" as one serialized class and containing Collection of values such has id and text and appears_in_book as name variables for class.
I considered GSON to do this. since name of property is not constant i can not use it to covert JSON to Java Object. currently i am iterating over each property by hard coding and filling them in java variables.
If some one can provide efficient way to do so i will appreciate help.
You could do this dynamically using reflection in Java but this is an advanced feature of Java and it may make your code more complicated than it needs to be.
See: Dynamically create an object in java from a class name and set class fields by using a List with data
A simpler alternative would be to just parse the JSON into a bunch of nested Maps and Lists exactly as they're given in the JSON data.
See: How to parse JSON in Java
