I am trying to Sanitize the requestBody. For this purpose I am converting Object to Json and then passing the Json to
requestBody
{
"data": {
"id": "123",
"unit_id": "456",
"country": "jp",
}
}
StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml
Output post escaping:
{"data":{"id":"123","unit_id":"456","country":"jp"}}
It is escaping the double quotes(“) which is breaking the Json structure when I am trying convert the Json back to Object.
How I can exclude double quotes(“) alone during this process?
i create two json string using GSON now i want to insert one json string to another but i don't understand how to I achieve this
json string 1
{"floors":[{"coveredArea":"200","floorId":"12","uploaded":false,"id":1},{"coveredArea":"200","floorId":"12","uploaded":false,"id":5}]}
json String 2
"surveys":[{"UId":"2","occupier": "rent","propertyId": "3","formId":1605250886166,"isSubmitted":false,"id":1}]}
but i want to this like this result
{
"surveys": [{
"propertyId": "3",
"UId": "161",
"occupier": "rent",
"formId": 1605250886166,
"isSubmitted": true,
"floor": [{
"floorId": "200",
"coveredArea": "200"
},
{
"floorId": "200",
"coveredArea": "200"
}
]
}]
}
I have a Json body like the example below. I need to extract the value from a key that has another key with a specific value in an array. I am passing in a JsonNode with everything in the detail component of the message, I can easily extract from each level, however, I'm struggling with the array.
In this case, I need to extract the value of "value" (Police/Fire/Accident Report) from the object in the array which has a key/value pair of "name":"documentTitle". I understand this is a JSONArray, but I can't find a good example that shows me how to extract the values for an object in the array that contains a certain key/value pair, I don't think I can rely on getting the object in position [2] in the array as the same objects may not always be present in the additionalMetadata array.
Sample Json:
"sourceVersion": "1.0",
"eventId": "8d74b892-810a-47c3-882b-6e641fd509eb",
"clientRequestId": "b84f3a7b-03cc-4848-a1e8-3519106c6fcb",
"detail": {
"stack": "corona",
"visibilityIndicator": null,
"documentUid": "b84f3a7b-03cc-4848-a1e8-3519106c6fcb",
"additionalMetadata": [
{
"name": "lastModifiedDate",
"value": "2021-05-21T04:53:53Z"
},
{
"name": "documentName",
"value": "Police/Fire Report, 23850413, 2021-05-20 14:51:23"
},
{
"name": "documentTitle",
"value": "Police/Fire/Accident Report"
},
{
"name": "documentAuthor",
"value": "System Generated"
},
{
"name": "lastModifiedBy",
"value": "System Updated"
},
{
"name": "createdBy",
"value": "System Generated"
},
{
"name": "documentDescription",
"value": "Police/Fire Report received"
},
{
"name": "organizationCode",
"value": "Claims"
}
]
}
}```
Loop through the json array and extract the json object with name documentTitile. From that json object you can get the value
Well, either the JSON framework you're using supports this out of the box (check the documentation) or you could convert it manually to a map:
List<AdditionalMetadataEntry> additionalMetadata;
[...]
Map<String, String> additionalMetadataMap = additionalMetadata.stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(AdditionalMetadataEntry::getName, AdditionalMetadataEntry::getValue));
I was able to figure it out. I created a new node off the existing notificationBody JsonNode, then parsed through the metadata key/value pairs:
String docTitle = "";
JsonNode additionalMetadata = notificationBody.get("detail").get("additionalMetadata");
for (JsonNode node: additionalMetadata) {
String name = node.get("name").asText();
String value = node.get("value").asText();
if(name.equals("documentTitle")){
docTitle = value;
}
}
I want to convert jsonobjcts into csv files. Wy (working) attempt so far is to load the json file as a JSONObject (from the googlecode.josn-simple library), then converting them with jsonPath into a string array which is then used to build the csv rows. However I am facing a problem with jsonPath. From the given example json...
{
"issues": [
{
"key": "abc",
"fields": {
"issuetype": {
"name": "Bug",
"id": "1",
"subtask": false
},
"priority": {
"name": "Major",
"id": "3"
},
"created": "2020-5-11",
"status": {
"name": "OPEN"
}
}
},
{
"key": "def",
"fields": {
"issuetype": {
"name": "Info",
"id": "5",
"subtask": false
},
"priority": {
"name": "Minor",
"id": "2"
},
"created": "2020-5-8",
"status": {
"name": "DONE"
}
}
}
]}
I want to select the following:
[
"abc",
"Bug",
"Major",
"2020-5-11",
"OPEN",
"def",
"Info",
"Minor",
"2020-5-8",
"DONE"
]
The csv should look like that:
abc,Bug,Major,2020-5-11,OPEN
def,Info,Minor,2020-5-8,DONE
I tried $.issues.[*].[key,fields] and I get
"abc",
{
"issuetype": {
"name": "Bug",
"id": "1",
"subtask": false
},
"priority": {
"name": "Major",
"id": "3"
},
"created": "2020-5-11",
"status": {
"name": "OPEN"
}
},
"def",
{
"issuetype": {
"name": "Info",
"id": "5",
"subtask": false
},
"priority": {
"name": "Minor",
"id": "2"
},
"created": "2020-5-8",
"status": {
"name": "DONE"
}
}
]
But when I want to select e.g. only "created" $.issues.[*].[key,fields.[created]
[
"2020-5-11",
"2020-5-8"
]
This is the result.
But I just do not get how to select "key" and e.g. "name" in the field issuetype.
How do I do that with jsonPath or is there a better way to filter a jsonfile and then convert it into a csv?
I recommend what I believe is a better way - which is to create a set of Java classes which represent the structure of your JSON data. When you read the JSON into these classes, you can manipulate the data using standard Java.
I also recommend a different JSON parser - in this case Jackson, but there are others. Why? Mainly, familiarity - see later on for more notes on that.
Starting with the end result: Assuming I have a class called Container which contains all the issues listed in the JSON file, I can then populate it with the following:
//import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
String jsonString = "{...}" // your JSON data as a string, for this demo.
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
Container container = objectMapper.readValue(jsonString, Container.class);
Now I can print out all the issues in the CSV format you want as follows:
container.getIssues().forEach((issue) -> {
printCsvRow(issue);
});
Here, the printCsvRow() method looks like this:
private void printCsvRow(Issue issue) {
String key = issue.getKey();
Fields fields = issue.getFields();
String type = fields.getIssuetype().getName();
String priority = fields.getPriority().getName();
String created = fields.getCreated();
String status = fields.getStatus().getName();
System.out.println(String.join(",", key, type, priority, created, status));
}
In reality, I would use a CSV library to ensure records are formatted correctly - the above is just for illustration, to show how the JSON data can be accessed.
The following is printed:
abc,Bug,Major,2020-5-11,OPEN
def,Info,Minor,2020-5-8,DONE
And to filter only OPEN records, I can do something like this:
container.getIssues()
.stream()
.filter(issue -> issue.getFields().getStatus().getName().equals("OPEN"))
.forEach((issue) -> {
printCsvRow(issue);
});
The following is printed:
abc,Bug,Major,2020-5-11,OPEN
To enable Jackson, I use Maven with the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.10.3</version>
</dependency>
In case you don't use Maven, this gives me 3 JARs: jackson-databind, jackson-annotations, and jackson-core.
To create the nested Java classes I need (to mirror the structure of the JSON), I use a tool which generates them for me using your sample JSON.
In my case, I used this tool, but there are others.
I chose "Container" as the name of the root Java class; a source type of JSON; and selected Jackson 2.x annotations. I also requested getters and setters.
I added the generated classes (Fields, Issue, Issuetype, Priority, Status, and Container) to my project.
WARNING: The completeness of these Java classes is only as good as the sample JSON. But you can, of course, enhance these classes to more accurately reflect the actual JSON you need to handle.
The Jackson ObjectMapper takes care of loading the JSON into the class structure.
I chose to use Jackson instead of JsonPath, simply because of familiarity. JsonPath appears to have very similar object mapping capabilities - but I have never used those features of JsonPath.
Final note: You can use xpath style predicates in JsonPath to access individual data items and groups of items - as you describe in your question. But (in my experience) it is almost always worth the extra effort to create Java classes, if you want to process all your data in more flexible ways - especially if that involves transforming the JSON input into different output structures.
I am using jayway JsonPath library to parse the JSON using the path given. I am able to get the string value if I give the correct path. But I want to get the list of maps when I give the path if its an array. For example, I have a JSON like below:
{
"employees": {
"company": "Google",
"people": [{
"name": "John",
"age": 25,
"location": "zurich"
},
{
"name": "Peter",
"age": 27,
"location": "Lucerene"
}]
}
}
Below is the code I am using to parse the json.
if I give the path $.employees.people, I am getting the String, But I need to List of Maps. Below is the code I am using to Parse Json using jsonpath.
DocumentContext documentContext = JsonPath.parse(jsonStr);
JsonPath jsonPath = JsonPath.compile("$.employees.people");
List<Maps<String,String>> jsonList = documentContext.read(jsonPath) //But this is returning String
Anyone suggest proper approach to get what I expected.
try using,
DocumentContext documentContext = JsonPath.parse(jsonStr);
JsonPath jsonPath = JsonPath.compile("$.employees.people[?]");
List<Maps<String,String>> jsonList = documentContext.read(jsonPath);
