I just want to construct JSON object something like this:
"Root":{
"c1": "v1"
}
I tried with the following code :
import org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException;
import org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONObject;
public class Exe {
public static void main(String[] args) throws JSONException {
JSONObject object = new JSONObject("ROOT");
object.put("c1", "v1");
System.out.println(object.toString());
}
}
with this code, I got the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 1 of ROOT
I played with codehaus API, but I didn't find the solution, so can you please help me on this.
You need to create the JSONObject and then add the "Root": value key-value pair to the object. The constructor accepting a String where you have "Root" expects a complete JSON object as a String.
JSONObject requestedObject = new JSONObject();
JSONObject innerValue = new JSONObject();
innerValue.put("c1", "v1");
requestedObject.put("Root", innerValue);
System.out.println(requestedObject);
has been confirmed to produce:
{"Root":{"c1":"v1"}}
As an important additional note, the JSON object you request isn't a valid JSON object. In case you're interested, you can check for valid JSON with a JSON lint tool. A valid object is shown below.
{
"Root":{
"c1": "v1"
}
}
Here's a quick snippet to confirm the statement about the constructor with a String.
JSONObject strConstr = new JSONObject("{\"Root\":{\"c1\":\"v1\"}}");
System.out.println(strConstr);
has been confirmed to produce:
{"Root":{"c1":"v1"}}

I am currently using JsonObject and JsonParser of com.google.gson api (using gson-2.8.5 version) to parse and read the value form input JSON.
I have JSON filed like , smaple "resultCode":"SUCCESS", when I try to read the same value from json it gives the result as ""SUCCESS"" .
Every value I am reading, getting with double "" not sure why ? You can refer below screen of my debugging screen.
I am new to Json and parser, is that default behavior ?
I am expecting "SUCCESS", "S", "00000000" not like ""SUCCESS"" or ""S""
or ""00000000""
same I have highlighted in the below image .
Please share any idea how we can get apbsolute vlaue of string without """" double quote string it causing my string comparison fail.
String response_result = "{\"response\": {\"head\": {\"function\": \"acquiring.order.create\",\"version\": \"2.0\",\"clientId\": \"201810300000\",\"reqMsgId\": \"56805892035\",\"respTime\": \"2019-09-13T13:18:08+08:00\"},\"body\": {\"resultInfo\": {\"resultCode\": \"SUCCESS\",\"resultCodeId\": \"00000000\",\"resultStatus\": S,\"resultMsg\": \"SUCCESS\"},\"acquirementId\": \"2018080834569894848930\",\"merchantTransId\": \"5683668701112717398\",\"checkoutUrl\": \"http://localhost:8081/crm/operator/operator-search-init.action\"}},\"signature\":\"d+TUYLvt1a491R1e6aO8i9VwXWzVhfNgnhD0Du74f4RgBQ==\"}";
HttpInvoker.Result result = i.new Result(200, response_result);
JsonObject jo = new JsonParser().parse(response_result).getAsJsonObject();
String resultCode = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().get("resultCode").toString();
String resultCodeId = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().get("resultCodeId").toString();
String resultStatus = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().get("resultStatus").toString();
String checkoutUrl = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("checkoutUrl").toString();
if ( RESULT_CODE_GCASH_SUCCESS.equals(resultCode)
&& RESULT_STATUS_SUCCESS.equals(resultStatus)
&& StringUtils.isNotEmpty(checkoutUrl)) {
log.error("Testing ".concat(resultCode).concat(resultStatus).concat(checkoutUrl));
}
log.error("Testing ".concat(resultCode).concat(resultStatus).concat(checkoutUrl));
}
This is my input JSON
{
"response":{
"head":{
"function":"acquiring.order.create",
"version":"2.0",
"clientId":"201810300000",
"reqMsgId":"56805892035",
"respTime":"2019-09-13T13:18:08+08:00"
},
"body":{
"resultInfo":{
"resultCode":"SUCCESS",
"resultCodeId":"00000000",
"resultStatus":"S",
"resultMsg":"SUCCESS"
},
"acquirementId":"2018080834569894848930",
"merchantTransId":"5683668701112717398",
"checkoutUrl":"http://localhost:8081/crm/operator/operator-search-init.action"
}
},
"signature":"d+TUYLvtI38YL2hresd98Ixu1BXccvvh1IQMiHuMXUEeW/N5exUsW491R1e6aO8i9VwXWzVhfNgnhD0Du74f4RgBQ=="
}
JsonParser parses your json into JsonElement structure. The behaviour that you see is a normal since you are using toString method of JsonElement. To achieve your goal just use JsonElement::getAsString method :
String resultCode = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().get("resultCode").getAsString();
which gives SUCCESS instead of "SUCCESS"
Note that JsonElement is an abstract class and classes, that extend this class, will override those helper getAs... methods. In your case JsonPrimitive::getAsString will be invoked.
Also you could create a POJO class for your json and use Gson::fromJson to parse json into object of your POJO class.
With the input from #Michalk:
I understand that easy way to read JSON data is using Gson::fromJson and creating POJO class for out json.
I have generated POJO Classes supplying my sample input JSON using this link
and Now I have POJO Classes called : CreateOrderJSONResponse
Gson::fromJson
Sample :
Gson gson = new Gson();
CreateOrderJSONResponse responseJson = gson.fromJson(inputJSON, CreateOrderJSONResponse.class);
Accessubg data :
String resultCodeText = responseJson.getResponse().getBody().getResultInfo().getResultCode();
String resultCodeId = responseJson.getResponse().getBody().getResultInfo().getResultCodeId();
String resultStatus = responseJson.getResponse().getBody().getResultInfo().getResultStatus();
String checkoutUrl = responseJson.getResponse().getBody().getCheckoutUrl();
Above Gson::fromJson example works smooth and it looks neat compare to direct accessing the filed with below sample code :
JsonObject jo = parser.parse(inputJSON).getAsJsonObject();
String resultCodeText = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().getAsJsonPrimitive("resultCode").getAsString();
String resultCodeId = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().getAsJsonPrimitive("resultCodeId").getAsString();
String resultStatus = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().get("resultInfo").getAsJsonObject().getAsJsonPrimitive("resultStatus").getAsString();
String checkoutUrl = jo.get("response").getAsJsonObject().get("body").getAsJsonObject().getAsJsonPrimitive("checkoutUrl").getAsString();
Note :
I have found this link of JSON or JAVA, SCALA, POJO generator tools as GitHub access you can access here
I have a malformed json array string which I get from an API call as follows:
[{\"ResponseCode\":1,\"ResponseMsg\":\"[{\"Code\":\"CA2305181\",\"Message\":\"Processed successfully\"}]\"}]
There is a double quote before open square bracket in the value of Response Msg property.
Is there a way to convert this into Java object ?
What I have tried so far:
I have used Jackson to parse it as follows but it gives error
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.setPropertyNamingStrategy(new ResponseNameStrategy());
Response[] response = mapper.readValue(strOutput1, Response[].class);
Error: Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of VALUE_STRING token
I have also tried using Gson to parse it but it also gives error
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE)
.create();
Response[] response = gson.fromJson(strOutput1, Response[].class);
Error: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was STRING at line 1 column 35 path $[0].ResponseMsg
I have gone through the following links on StackOverflow but none of them has addressed my issue:
How to Convert String Array JSON in a Java Object
Convert a JSON string to object in Java ME?
JSON Array to Java objects
Convert json String to array of Objects
converting 'malformed' java json object to javascript
I think the answer is in the comments, you appear to be trying to solve the issue on the wrong place.
You are receiving json which you wish to parse into java objects, unfortunately the json is malformed so will not parse.
As a general rule you should never be trying to solve the symptom, but should look for the root cause and fix that, it may sound trivial but fixing symptoms leads to messy, unpredictable, and unmaintainable systems.
So the answer is fix the json where it is being broken. If this is something or of your control, while you wait for the fix, you could put a hack in to fix the json before you parse it.
This way you won't compromise your parsing, and only have a small piece of string replacement to remove when the third party has fixed the issue. But do not go live with the hack, it should only be used during development.
As i mentioned in the comment, you should prepare your service response in order to parse it.
I implemented an example:
public class JsonTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws JsonProcessingException, IOException{
String rawJson =
"[{\"ResponseCode\":1,\"ResponseMsg\":\"[{\"Code\":\"CA2305181\",\"Message\":\"Processed successfully\"}]\"}]";
String goodJson = "{"+rawJson.split("[{{.}]")[2]+"}";
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
final ObjectNode node = mapper.readValue(goodJson, ObjectNode.class);
System.out.println("Pretty Print: " + mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(node));
System.out.println("Just code: " + node.get("Code"));
}
}
Which returns:
This is how I finally solved my issue:
String inputJsonStr = "[{\"ResponseCode\":1,\"ResponseMsg\":\"[{\"Code\":\"CA2305181\",\"Message\":\"Claim has been added successfully.\"}"
+ "]\"}]";
int indexOfRes = inputJsonStr.indexOf("ResponseMsg");
if(inputJsonStr.substring(indexOfRes+13,indexOfRes+14).equals("\""))
{
inputJsonStr = inputJsonStr.substring(0,indexOfRes+13) + inputJsonStr.substring(indexOfRes+14);
}
int indexOfFirstClosingSquare = inputJsonStr.indexOf("]");
if(inputJsonStr.substring(indexOfFirstClosingSquare+1, indexOfFirstClosingSquare+2).equals("\"")) {
inputJsonStr = inputJsonStr.substring(0, indexOfFirstClosingSquare+1)+inputJsonStr.substring(indexOfFirstClosingSquare+2);
}
Now inputJsonStr contains a valid json array which can be parsed into Java custom object array easily with gson as given in this SO link:
Convert json String to array of Objects
Because of the project requirement, I have to use com.fasterxml.jackson.databind library to parse JSON data cannot use other JSON libraries available.
I am new to JSON parsing, so not sure if there are better options here?
I would like to know how can I update a string value in an Array node in the JSON file.
Following is a sample JSON. Please note this is not the entire file content, it's a simplified version.
{
"call": "SimpleAnswer",
"environment": "prod",
"question": {
"assertions": [
{
"assertionType": "regex",
"expectedString": "(.*)world cup(.*)"
}
],
"questionVariations": [
{
"questionList": [
"when is the next world cup"
]
}
]
}
}
Following is the code to read JSON into java object.
byte[] jsonData = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(PATH_TO_JSON));
JsonNode jsonNodeFromFile = mapper.readValue(jsonData, JsonNode.class);
To update a root level node value e.g. environment in the JSON file , I found following approach on some SO threads.
ObjectNode objectNode = (ObjectNode)jsonNodeFromFile;
objectNode.remove("environment");
objectNode.put("environment", "test");
jsonNodeFromFile = (JsonNode)objectNode;
FileWriter file = new FileWriter(PATH_TO_JSON);
file.write(jsonNodeFromFile.toString());
file.flush();
file.close();
QUESTION 1: Is this the only way to update a value in JSON file and is it the best way possible? I'm concerned on double casting and file I/O here.
QUESTION 2: I could not find a way to update the value for a nested Array node e.g. questionList. Update the question from when is the next world cup to when is the next soccer world cup
You can use ObjectMapper to parse that JSON, it is very easy to parse and update JSON using pojo class.
use link to convert your json to java class, just paste your json here n download class structure.
You can access or update nested json field by using . (dot) operator
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
String jsonString="{\"call\":\"SimpleAnswer\",\"environment\":\"prod\",\"question\":{\"assertions\":[{\"assertionType\":\"regex\",\"expectedString\":\"(.*)world cup(.*)\"}],\"questionVariations\":[{\"questionList\":[\"when is the next world cup\"]}]}}";
TestClass sc=mapper.readValue(jsonString,TestClass.class);
// to update environment
sc.setEnvironment("new Environment");
System.out.println(sc);
//to update assertionType
Question que=sc.getQuestion();
List assertions=que.getAssertions();
for (int i = 0; i < assertions.size(); i++) {
Assertion ass= (Assertion) assertions.get(i);
ass.setAssertionType("New Type");
}
I have a large file with many JSON objects similiar to the following. I need to parse everything to get the "bought_together" items as an array using the org.json library. I'm having trouble accessing anything nested in "related".
What is the required code to retrieve "bought_together" as a list?
{
"asin": "11158732",
"title": "Girls Ballet Tutu Zebra Hot Pink",
"price": 3.17,
"imUrl": "http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fAmVkTbyL._SY300_.jpg",
"related":
{
"also_bought": ["L00JHONN1S", "B002BZX8Z6"],
"also_viewed": ["F002BZX8Z6", "B00JHONN1S", "B008F0SU0Y", "B00D23MC6W", "B00AFDOPDA"],
"bought_together": ["D202BZX8Z6"]
},
"salesRank": {"Toys & Games": 211836},
"brand": "Coxlures",
"categories": [["Sports & Outdoors", "Other Sports", "Dance"]]
}
Here is my attempt (Please note, this is within a MapReduce program so some lines may seem out of context.):
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(sampleText); //sampleText is json that has been split by line
JSONArray boughtTogether = new JSONArray(object.getJSONArray("bought_together"));
using the following code, I hope it's help you.
//this will be your json object that contains and convert your string to jsonobject
//if you have json object already skip this.
JSONObject yourJSON = new JSONObject(targetString);
//getting the "related" jsonObject
JSONObject related = yourJSON.getJSONObject("related");
//getting the "bought_together" as an jsonArray and do what you want with it.
//you can act with jsonarray like an array
JSONArray bought_together = related.getJSONArray("bought_together");
//now if you run blow code
System.out.print(bought_together.getString(0));
//output is : D202BZX8Z6
-------update according to update the question------
you should change your code like this:
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(sampleText); //sampleText is json that has been split by line
JSONObject related = object.getJSONObject("related");
JSONArray boughtTogether = related.getJSONArray("bought_together");
-------update-------
i think you need to this point (it's not technicality all of they difference)
every thing are in {} , they will be JSONObject and the relation
is key and value like :
{"name":"ali"}
this is a jsonobject and the value of key "name" is ali and we call it
like:
myJsonObject.getString("name");
every thing are in [] ,they will be JSONArray and the relation is
index and value like :
["ali"]
this is a JsonArray the value of index 0 is ali and we call it
like:
myJsonArray.getString(0);
so in your case:
your total object is a JSONObject
the value of "related" key is still a JSONObject
the value of "bought_together" key (which is inside the value of {jsonobject} "related" key) is a JSONArray
I'm trying to parse this string into java, but I keep getting errors.
{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"limits":{"end":3,"start":0,"total":3},"sources":[{"file":"/media/storage/media/re Music/","label":"re Music"},{"file":"/media/storage/media/ra Music/","label":"ra Music"},{"file":"addons://sources/audio/","label":"Music Add-ons"}]}}
When I use this code ...
String temp = //json code returned from up above
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(temp);
JSONArray array = obj.getJSONArray("sources");
I get an error saying org.json.JSONObject Value... and then displays what is in temp. Any help?
The array named "sources" is several levels deep. You need to traverse down into the json.
Code formatters help with this stuff...
http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
{
"id":1,
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"result":{
"limits":{
"end":3,
"start":0,
"total":3
},
"sources":[
{
"file":"/media/storage/media/re Music/",
"label":"re Music"
},
{
"file":"/media/storage/media/ra Music/",
"label":"ra Music"
},
{
"file":"addons://sources/audio/",
"label":"Music Add-ons"
}
]
}
}
It looks like the "sources" array is in the "result" object. So you would need to get that object and then get the array from that like this:
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(temp);
JSONObject result = obj.getJSONObject("result");
JSONArray array = result.getJSONArray("sources");
Your json should have top level object, from there you need to get child objects. See this link for more detail.
