How to preserve extra json fields in serialize/deserialization with jackson? - java

We have a relatively big json document but just need to the special fields of it. So, I defined the needed properties in my model and can serialize/deserialize, well. Recently we are forced to hand over the json document as we received, but since there are so much fields and these fields vary frequently, I'm looking for a method to do this without defining extra fields in the model. I couldn't do it by using an extra Map<String, Object> in the model classes but I guess there should be an solution for it.
Let's suppose my model is like this:
public class Model {
public A a;
}
public class A {
public int i;
}
and the json is like this:
{
"a": {
"i": "1",
"j": {
"q": 2.11,
"e": "94300000",
"r": "book",
"t": null
},
"b": 1
},
"ff": [
{
"gg": "ttttttttt",
"dd": "oooooooo",
"jj": null,
"kk": [
"pppppppp"
]
},
{
"mm": null
}
]
}
How can I do it?

Is there a way to extract all values by some key from a list of maps using SpEL?

Let's assume there's a map corresponding to the following structure:
{
"lists": [
{
"list": [
{
"letter": "a"
},
{
"letter": "b"
}
]
},
{
"list": [
{
"letter": "c"
},
{
"letter": "d"
}
]
}
]
}
There's an easy way to get all lists using SpEL (#root['lists']) or all letters of the first list ("#root['lists'][0]['list']") or the first letter of the first list ("#root['lists'][0]['list'][0]"). Also, there's a projection mechanism which allows using construction like "#root['lists'].![#this['list']]" to convert each item of lists to a result of the projection expression.
However, given all these possibilities, I still failed to come up with an expression allowing me to extract all letters from both lists. For the example above, I'd like to get
[
{
"letter": "a"
},
{
"letter": "b"
},
{
"letter": "c"
},
{
"letter": "d"
}
]
I tried to use the projection mechanism to achieve my goal but it didn't really help. The problem I see is that every time SpEL detects a list, it applies the projection expression to each element of the list so any structure of nested lists can't be changed this way.
The problem I solve can be easily solved using JsonPath, however, I assume I could get something wrong and didn't notice a way to achieve the same result using SpEL. I would be happy to listen to any ideas.

how to get a equal-match result from field which has array value in elasticsearch

In my documents, I have a field which has an array of String.
like
weapon : ["Bland Blade", "Defender Quelthalas", "Thousand Lies", "Frozen Bonespike"]
I would like to get all the documents whose weapon field has "Frozen Bonespike".
not field which has one word - like "Frozen" or "Bonespike"
and not even field which contains "Frozen Bonespike" - like "Winter Frozen Bonespike"
I would like to get a field which has exactly equal string with query word
Have you any idea?
To achieve that you have to set your weapon field as type keyword and then run a terms search against it.
By default elasticsearch will create both text type field (lets say weapon) and keyword (weapon.keyword)
Ingesting document
POST test_seo/_doc
{
"weapon": [
"Bland Blade",
"Defender Quelthalas",
"Thousand Lies",
"Frozen Bonespike"
]
}
Query
POST test_seo/_search
{
"query": {
"term": {
"weapon.keyword": {
"value": "Frozen Bonespike"
}
}
}
}
If you want to search by many different weapons you can use a terms query
POST test_seo/_search
{
"query": {
"terms": {
"weapon.keyword": [
"Bland Blade",
"Thousand Lies"
]
}
}
}

How do I convert my Json Object (which can be nested) into '&' separated key value pairs?

I would like to know if there is any function in Java which does the same job as http_build_query in php. I found many similar questions but didn't find the solution I'm searching for.
For example :
If my JSON String looks like:
{
"a": "b",
"c": {
"d": "e"
},
"f": {
"g": {
"h": "i"
}
}
}
I want the function to return a=b&c[d]=e&f[g][h]=i .

Parse a structured flattened json object to list of object

I am current have a Json like :
{
"data":{
"gatewayId":"asd",
"records":[
{
"ms":123,
"points":[
{
"sensorId":"asdasd",
"sensorType":"asdasd",
"batt" : 12,
"kw" : 2
},
{
"sensorId":"123",
"sensorType":"as123dasd",
"batt" : 12,
"kw" : 2
}
]
},
{
"ms":123123,
"points":[
{
"sensorId":"asdasd",
"sensorType":"asdasd",
"batt" : 12,
"kw" : 2
},
{
"sensorId":"123",
"sensorType":"as123dasd",
"batt" : 12,
"kw" : 2
}
]
}
]
},
"gatewayType":"Asdasd"
}
My purpose is to denormalise the object to the lowest level in Java
where the pojo is
class SimpleData {
private String gatewayId;
private String gatewayType;
private Long ms;
private String sensorType;
private Double batt;
private Long kw;
}
For what I did for now, I flatten the json to a list for string as below.
root.gatewayType="Asdasd"
root.data.gatewayId="asd"
root.data.records[0].ms=123
root.data.records[0].points[0].sensorId="asdasd"
root.data.records[0].points[0].sensorType="asdasd"
root.data.records[0].points[0].batt=12
root.data.records[0].points[0].kw=2
root.data.records[0].points[1].sensorId="123"
root.data.records[0].points[1].sensorType="as123dasd"
root.data.records[0].points[1].batt=12
root.data.records[0].points[1].kw=2
root.data.records[1].ms=123123
root.data.records[1].points[0].sensorId="asdasd"
root.data.records[1].points[0].sensorType="asdasd"
root.data.records[1].points[0].batt=12
root.data.records[1].points[0].kw=2
root.data.records[1].points[1].sensorId="123"
root.data.records[1].points[1].sensorType="as123dasd"
root.data.records[1].points[1].batt=12
root.data.records[1].points[1].kw=2
I am thinking is it any logic or library can parse the above list for string to list of SimpleData object?
Sorry, My question maybe not clear, I find a more simple way to solve the problem.
But I need a library to denormalize the json.
for example if the json is :
{
"a" : "1",
"b" : ["2", "3"]
}
will become
[
{
"a" : "1",
"b" : "2"
},
{
"a" : "1",
"b" : "3"
}
]
I believe the Gson library is what you are looking for. It provides simple methods to convert Json array to simple Java objects, and vice versa. Very handy, developed by Google.
I recommend fastjson, which is really fast and quite easy to use. In your case, you only need to define POJO in the structure as your JSON data and parse the JSON to Object. It's created by Alibaba.

Jackson deserialization for php-like array concatenated with another object

Here is a bit weird json structure from external service:
{
"entity_list_self_mapped_by_ids": {
"0": { "ent_prop1": "ent0_prop_value1", "ent_prop2": "ent0_prop_value2" },
"1": { "ent_prop1": "ent1_prop_value1", "ent_prop2": "ent1_prop_value2" },
"2": { "ent_prop1": "ent2_prop_value1", "ent_prop2": "ent2_prop_value2" },
"unexpected_other_property_here": {
"foo": "bar"
}
},
"one_more_not_so_important_property": { "something": "here" }
}
Anyway I wonder if there is any smart compact way to deserialize it to something like this
class ResponseContainer {
#JsonDeserialize(converter=MapToListConverter.class)
List<Entities> entities;
OtherProperty unexpectedOtherProperty;
OneMoreProperty oneMoreProperty;
}
MapToListConverter is quite obvious to me - just convert map values to list. Hovewer I am not sure if there is simple way to extract that 'unexpected_other_property' so it can go not to the map but to other dedicated property of ResponseContainer.
