I am trying this to toggle the value of key1 in but I get the same value all the time. What am I doing wrong here?
boolean jsonText = true;
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
public void setjsonObject(boolean val){
this.jsonText = val;
}
public Boolean getjsonObject(){
return this.jsonText;
}
#POST("/hello")
#PermitAll
public String hello(String text) {
try {
if (jsonObj.has("key1")) {
boolean val = !jsonObj.getBoolean("key1");
jsonObj.remove("key1");
jsonObj.put("key1", val);
} else {
jsonObj.put("key1", true);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "some result";
}
Am I resetting the "key1" boolean value somewhere?
you are creating new JSON object every time:
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject();
so it never has any value for "key1" and it is always set to true after your hello code.

I'm trying to append JSONObjects inside a JSONArray that is called Records .
The first time I save it it saves it this way that is ok
{
"Records": [
{
"travelTime": 2,
"totalDistance": 0,
"pace": 0,
"kCalBurned": 0,
"latlng": "[lat\/lng: (-32.1521234,-63.66412321)]"
}
]
}
But when I try to append again a new jsonobject inside Records, it creates a new JSONArray for it, and I just want to append a new object inside records
{
"Records": [
{
"travelTime": 2,
"totalDistance": 0,
"pace": 0,
"kCalBurned": 0,
"latlng": "[lat\/lng: (-31.6432292,-63.3667462)]"
}
]
}{
"Records": [
{
"travelTime": 1,
"totalDistance": 0,
"pace": 0,
"kCalBurned": 0,
"latlng": "[lat\/lng: (-31.9522431,-64.3461241)]"
}
]
}
This is the code I use to save the Records
private void writeJsonData(long travelTime,float totalDistance, float pace, float kCalBurned, LinkedList<LatLng> latlng){
String jsonStr = "";
JSONObject records = new JSONObject();
try {
records.put("travelTime", travelTime);
records.put("totalDistance", totalDistance);
records.put("pace", pace);
records.put("kCalBurned", kCalBurned);
records.put("latlng", latlng);
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
jsonArray.put(records);
JSONObject recordsObj = new JSONObject();
recordsObj.put("Records", jsonArray);
jsonStr = recordsObj.toString();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
String file_name = "records.json";
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;
try {
fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(mContext.getFilesDir(),file_name),true);
fileOutputStream.write(jsonStr.getBytes());
fileOutputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
You need a JSON parser so that you can locate the "Records" array inside the file and place the new data there. I used the "json simple" library (jar can be found here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/json-simple/downloads).
First you parse the file:
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject records = null;
try {
records = (JSONObject) parser.parse(new FileReader("records.json"));
} catch (ParseException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Then you locate the Records JSONArray. In there you want to append the new record:
JSONArray r = (JSONArray) records.get("Records");
Create the new record:
JSONObject NewObj = new JSONObject();
NewObj.put("travelTime", travelTime);
NewObj.put("totalDistance", totalDistance);
NewObj.put("pace", pace);
NewObj.put("kCalBurned", kCalBurned);
NewObj.put("latlng", latlng);
Add the new record to the "Records" JSONArray:
r.add(NewObj);
Write to file:
try (FileWriter file = new FileWriter("records.json")) {
file.write(records.toJSONString());
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Passing 2nd parameter to true in FileOutputStream constructor will
append jsonObject at the end of file.
To append it with JSON array inside Records object, you've to read the file first, append the new JSON object and write it back to file.
Use GSON library for conversion between java class & jSON. So you don't have to create JSON object manually each time by putting each key-pair.
Create a Java class to hold whole Records object
public class Record
{
#SerializedName("Records")
private List<Object> recordsList;
public Record()
{
this. recordsList = new ArrayList<>();
}
public List<Object> getRecordsList()
{
return recordsList;
}
}
Now create JAVA Model class to hold travel info
public class Travel {
private Integer travelTime;
private Integer totalDistance;
private Integer pace;
private Integer kCalBurned;
private LinkedList<LatLng> latlng;
public Integer getTravelTime() {
return travelTime;
}
public void setTravelTime(Integer travelTime) {
this.travelTime = travelTime;
}
public Integer getTotalDistance() {
return totalDistance;
}
public void setTotalDistance(Integer totalDistance) {
this.totalDistance = totalDistance;
}
public Integer getPace() {
return pace;
}
public void setPace(Integer pace) {
this.pace = pace;
}
public Integer getKCalBurned() {
return kCalBurned;
}
public void setKCalBurned(Integer kCalBurned) {
this.kCalBurned = kCalBurned;
}
public LinkedList<LatLng> getLatlng() {
return latlng;
}
public void setLatlng(LinkedList<LatLng> latlng) {
this.latlng = latlng;
}
}
Here is utility class with a function to append new JSON inside Records object. It will check if directory & file are created otherwise will create both.If file exist, it will read the file, append the new JSON object to list and write it back into the same file. You can change the directory & file name with yours.
Note: This class is written in Kotlin. Here is reference how to setup Android Studio for Kotlin
class Logger {
companion object {
private const val LOG_FILE_FOLDER = "Logs"
private const val LOG_FILE_NAME = "transaction"
private const val DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd"
private val logFileName: String
#SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
get() {
var fileName = LOG_FILE_NAME
val dateFormat = SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT)
fileName += "_" + dateFormat.format(Date()) + ".json"
return fileName
}
fun logFile(json: Any) {
try {
val directoryPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().path + "/" + LOG_FILE_FOLDER
val loggingDirectoryPath = File(directoryPath)
var loggingFile = File("$directoryPath/$logFileName")
if (loggingDirectoryPath.mkdirs() || loggingDirectoryPath.isDirectory) {
var isFileReady = true
var isNewFile = false
if (!loggingFile.exists()) {
isFileReady = false
try {
loggingFile.createNewFile()
isNewFile = true
isFileReady = true
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
} else {
val lastFile = getLastFile(loggingFile.name, directoryPath)
loggingFile = File("$directoryPath/$lastFile")
val fileSize = getFileSize(loggingFile)
}
if (isFileReady) {
var jsonString: String? = null
if (!isNewFile) {
//Get already stored JsonObject
val stream = FileInputStream(loggingFile)
try {
val fileChannel = stream.channel
val mappedByteBuffer = fileChannel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fileChannel.size())
jsonString = Charset.defaultCharset().decode(mappedByteBuffer).toString()
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
} finally {
stream.close()
}
}
//Create record object
val record = if (!jsonString.isNullOrEmpty()) {
Gson().fromJson(jsonString, Record::class.java)
} else {
Record()
}
//Append the current json
record.recordList.add(json)
//create json to save
val jsonToSave = Gson().toJson(record)
val bufferedOutputStream: BufferedOutputStream
try {
bufferedOutputStream = BufferedOutputStream(FileOutputStream(loggingFile))
bufferedOutputStream.write(jsonToSave.toByteArray())
bufferedOutputStream.flush()
bufferedOutputStream.close()
} catch (e4: FileNotFoundException) {
e4.printStackTrace()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
} finally {
System.gc()
}
}
}
} catch (ex: Exception) {
ex.printStackTrace()
}
}
}
}
At the end, you can log the file withlogFile method
Logger.Companion.logFile(travel);

I am able to return an HashMap as a JSON from my REST API built on Spring Boot. Here my Method:

As suggested in some posts found on web, I added Jackson as new dependency in pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>
Unfortunately this didn't change anything.
Do you have any suggestion to improve the process of building a JSON for a REST API on Spring Boot?
When I return the HashMap, the output looks like that:
#GetMapping(produces={MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE})
public ResponseEntity<?> create_coinmarketcap_snapshot() throws IOException {
UriComponentsBuilder builder =
UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString("https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/ticker")
.queryParam("limit", "5");
ResponseEntity<String> response =
restTemplate.getForEntity(builder.toUriString(), String.class);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode root = mapper.readTree(response.getBody());
JsonNode data = root.path("data");
data.forEach(jsonObject -> {
jsonObject.get("rank"); //extracting values from each json object
jsonObject.get("circulating_supply");
jsonObject.get("total_supply");
jsonObject.get("max_supply");
jsonObject.get("price");
jsonObject.get("volume_24h");
jsonObject.get("market_cap");
jsonObject.get("percent_change_1h");
jsonObject.get("percent_change_24h");
//... and so on
});
return ResponseEntity.ok(data);
}
Now you're returning a json object that contains the value of "data" key #118218
HttpStatus.OK is the default return value for Http endpoints using Spring and therefore specifying it is unnecessary, thereby rendering the entire ResponseEntity unnecessary:
#ResponseBody
#Transactional
#GetMapping("create_coinmarketcap_snapshot")

I am trying to parse the response I get from my OkHttp3Connection and it always almost always returns me String with value "true" which is names[0] in this example.
Now I try to convert this string to boolean and return true/false depending on the response. Now I guess since the OkHttp3Connection takes some time it doesnt let the query to finish and returns false which is the default value.
What I was trying to say is that this function always returns false no matter what String names[0] is.
public boolean checkIfSongPurhcased(String songName){
final boolean[] songCheckResult = new boolean[1];
OkHttp3Connection.doOkHttp3Connection("", Services_Url_class.GET_SONG_PURCHASED, OkHttp3Connection.Request_type.POST, request_data, new OkHttp3Connection.OkHttp3RequestCallback() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(String result, String userTag) throws JSONException {
JSONObject jsonResult = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray data = jsonResult.getJSONArray("data");
if(data != null) {
String[] names = new String[data.length()];
for(int i = 0 ; i < data.length() ; i++) {
JSONArray arr = data.getJSONArray(i);
JSONObject dataObj = arr.getJSONObject(0);
Iterator<String> keys = dataObj.keys();
names[i] = dataObj.getString(keys.next());
}
//names[0] is "true"
songCheckResult[0] = Boolean.parseBoolean(names[0]);
}
}
#Override
public void onError(String error, String userTag) {
System.out.println("songy" + error);
}
}
);
//always returns false
return songCheckResult[0];
How can I make it so if names[0] is "true" it would give me true.
You should pass the listener/callback.
First create callback interface like below
public interface OnQueryResultCallback{
void onQueryResult(String songName, boolean status);
}
Then pass listener/callback to your method, here is the modified method.
public void checkIfSongPurhcased(final String songName, final OnQueryResultCallback listener){
OkHttp3Connection.doOkHttp3Connection("", Services_Url_class.GET_SONG_PURCHASED, OkHttp3Connection.Request_type.POST, request_data, new OkHttp3Connection.OkHttp3RequestCallback() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(String result, String userTag) throws JSONException {
JSONObject jsonResult = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray data = jsonResult.getJSONArray("data");
if(data != null) {
String[] names = new String[data.length()];
for(int i = 0 ; i < data.length() ; i++) {
JSONArray arr = data.getJSONArray(i);
JSONObject dataObj = arr.getJSONObject(0);
Iterator<String> keys = dataObj.keys();
names[i] = dataObj.getString(keys.next());
}
//names[0] is "true"
boolean status = Boolean.parseBoolean(names[0]);
listener.onQueryResult(songName,status);
}
}
#Override
public void onError(String error, String userTag) {
System.out.println("songy" + error);
listener.onQueryResult(songName,false);
}
}
);
}
Then call checkIfSongPurhcased like below
checkIfSongPurhcased("songName", new OnQueryResultCallback(){
public void onQueryResult(String songName, boolean status){
if(status){
// do something on success
}else{
// do something on failure
}
}
});
Try to use getBoolean() rather than getString().
For Eg: names[i] = dataObj.getBoolean(keys.next());
I have a program that reads in a simple JSON file and manipulates the data. I then store this data in trees (albeit badly). I have a problem where arguments can longs e.g {1,2}, longs and variables e.g {1,x2}, or variables with other variables e.g. {x1,x2}.
I have been able to retrieve the variables from the JSONArray. The problem arises when I have a variable and a value. I can't for the life of me figure out how to deal with such an occurrence. I apologise for the excessive use of try-catch operations. If anyone could help me solve this issue, it would be much appreciated.

In order to process the JSONArray, I suggest that you create a method which checks the type of the object first and then delegates the processing to other specialised methods based on its type.
This will allow you re-use the code in case you have arrays in arrays and also to navigate through the JSON tree.
Something along these lines:
private static void processArray(JSONArray jsonArray) {
jsonArray.forEach(o -> {
if (o instanceof Number) {
processNumber((Number) o);
} else if (o instanceof JSONObject) {
process((JSONObject) o);
} else if (o instanceof String) {
process((String) o);
} else if (o instanceof JSONArray) {
processArray((JSONArray) o); // recursive call here.
}
});
}
Other methods would look like:
private static void process(String o) {
System.out.println(o); // just an example
}
public static void processNumber(Number number) {
System.out.println(number); // just an example
}
And the most complex would be the one for processing objects:
private static void process(JSONObject o) {
o.forEach((s, o1) -> {
System.out.println(s);
if (o1 instanceof Number) {
processNumber((Number) o1);
} else if (o1 instanceof JSONObject) {
process((JSONObject) o1); // recursion
} else if (o1 instanceof String) {
process((String) o1);
} else if (o1 instanceof JSONArray) {
processArray((JSONArray) o1);
}
});
}
This method would also be recursive. With this type of approach you can navigate through all objects in the tree.
Update:
If you want to process JSON like:
{
"declared-variable": "x17",
"value": {
"operator": "set",
"arguments": [
1,
2,
{
"variable": "x8"
}
]
}
}
you can do so by creating a main method similar to this one:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ParseException {
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser(JSONParser.MODE_JSON_SIMPLE);
try (InputStream in = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("array_mixed.json")) {
Object obj = jsonParser.parse(in);
if (obj instanceof JSONArray) {
processArray((JSONArray) obj);
}
else if(obj instanceof Object) {
process((JSONObject) obj);
}
}
}
This main method together with the other methods described can at least print out all the elements in the JSON.
You should be able to at least print out the following in the case of the specified JSON above:
declared-variable
x17
value
arguments
1
2
variable
x8
operator
set
During automation test run, I come across JsonObject like followin, let's call it jsonObject.
{
"434": {
"Test1": {
"id": "0001",
"Name": "John"
}
},
"435": {
"Test2": {
"id": "0002",
"Name": "John"
}
}
}
I want to retrieve JsonObject for Test1 and Test2. I can retrieve it like:
jsonObject.getJsonObject("434").getJsonObject("Test1");
jsonObject.getJsonObject("435").getJsonObject("Test2");
But values 434 and 435 are not constants. When I re-run test, this time those could be some different numbers. Hence I don't know what could be there next time instead of 434 and 435
Is there any way, I can get JsonObject of Test1 and Test2 irrespective of 434 and 435 (something like jsonObject.someMethod("Test1");)?
I'm using javax.json library.
You can use jsonObject.keys() to get an iterator of all property names in current JSON object. This will allow you to do something like this:
Iterable<String> keys = () -> jsonObject.keys();
List<JSONObject> nestedFilteredObjects = stream(keys.spliterator(), false)
.filter(key -> jsonObject.getJSONObject(key).has("Test"))
.map(key -> jsonObject.getJSONObject(key))
.collect(toList());
Of course you still need to add try-catches for the json exceptions and consider what happens when the property is not a json object (getJSONObject will throw the exception).
Something like the code below should do. Please keep in mind that I did not test it and you can adapt it more to your needs - I don't know what possible jsons you may have in your tests:
private static List<JSONObject> getNestedTestObjects(JSONObject jsonObject) {
#SuppressWarnings("Convert2MethodRef")
Iterable<String> keys = () -> jsonObject.keys();
return stream(keys.spliterator(), false)
.map(key -> object(jsonObject, key))
.filter(object -> object instanceof JSONObject)
.map(object -> (JSONObject) object)
.filter(object -> object.has("Test"))
.map(object -> object(object, "Test"))
.filter(object -> object instanceof JSONObject)
.map(object -> (JSONObject) object)
.collect(toList());
}
private static Object object(JSONObject jsonObject, String key) {
try {
return jsonObject.get(key);
} catch (JSONException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
You can retrieve your target object by passing in the key you are searching for. The method will handle traveling down to each child object to find the matching key. It will return the first match.
Also, you can retrieve all nested JSON objects at a desired depth by using a recursive routine as seen below. You choose the level and the method will add each JsonObject to a results list. The list is printed at the end.
