Filter nested json data using jsonpath as in example

I am using jsonpath to filter.
Json(Dummy json just to explain) source String, which is basically a list of Operating systems and details of its programs etc. In this example, the OS whose id = 1403 is a windows 10 OS and has 2 features acchritecture and browser. There are more details to the browser feature as shown in json
[
{
"id": 1403,
"os": "window 10",
"features": [
{
"id": 1356,
"name": "architecture",
"value": [
{
"id": 1308,
"feature": [
{
"id": 1262,
"key": "name",
"value": "amd64"
}
]
}
],
"category": "cat1"
},
{
"id": 1357,
"name": "browser",
"value": [
{
"id": 1309,
"feature": [
{
"id": 1263,
"key": "name",
"value": "Firefox"
},
{
"id": 1265,
"key": "version",
"value": "187"
}
]
}
],
"category": "cat2"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2804,
"os": "window 7",
"features": [
{
"id": 2764,
"name": "architecture",
"value": [
{
"id": 2719,
"feature": [
{
"id": 2679,
"key": "name",
"value": "amd64"
}
]
}
],
"category": "cat1"
},
{
"id": 2765,
"name": "browser",
"value": [
{
"id": 2722,
"feature": [
{
"id": 2685,
"key": "name",
"value": "Chrome"
},
{
"id": 2684,
"key": "version",
"value": "87.0.4280.88"
}
]
}
],
"category": "cat2"
}
]
}
]
I want to be able to filter the json such that
features[*].name == 'browser' and features[*].value[*].feature[*].value == 'chrome'
What will be the JsonPath string that can help me achieve above query? The above query uses similar syntax used by JsonPath string but doesn't do the job. Its just to explain.
There is another example here gets Movie Title Given 'Starring' field
And would like to get the full OS json that fulfils this condition. In this case a array of OS which contains only one OS i.e. with id= 2804
[
{
"id": "2804",
...
}
]
I am stuck much before what aim to achieve. Here is my code to get all the OS that have "name=browser". I get the array but it only contains value[] items. I want it get the full json. It returns object with IDs- 1357, 2765.
List<Map<String, Object>> expensive = JsonPath.parse(jsonDataSourceString)
.read("$[*].features[*].[?(#.name == 'browser')]");

To get the outer array you need to use the filter like $[?(...)]
For your current use case, we need to use nested array filters. There is an open issue in JsonPath for filter on children level. (Refer here).
Luckily, there is a workaround suggested to use contains over here.
we can use the below expression to filter:
List<Object> expensive = JsonPath.parse(jsonDataSourceString)
.read("$[?(#.features[?(#.name == 'browser')].value[*].feature[*].value contains 'Chrome')]");
Prints the below output
{id=2804, os=window 7, features=[{"id":2764,"name":"architecture","value":[{"id":2719,"feature":[{"id":2679,"key":"name","value":"amd64"}]}],"category":"cat1"},{"id":2765,"name":"browser","value":[{"id":2722,"feature":[{"id":2685,"key":"name","value":"Chrome"},{"id":2684,"key":"version","value":"87.0.4280.88"}]}],"category":"cat2"}]}

Rest-assured. get value from another value

I have a json response something like this:
"results": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "YYY",
"shortName": "Y"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "XXX",
"shortName": "X"
},
{
"id": "3",
"name": "ZZZ",
"shortName": "Z"
}
]
I want to get id value when I send name value. For example if name = ZZZ return me id value in this case 3 using rest assured

Json path json-path-2.9.0 with rest-assured
import static com.jayway.restassured.path.json.JsonPath.from;
below JsonPath query
from(response).getList("results.findAll { it.name=='ZZZ' }.id").toString() //returns 3
from(response).getList("results.findAll { it.name=='XXX' }.id").toString() //returns 2

how to calculate total value for the below JSON value U.O.M Wise in Java

how to calculate total value for the below JSON value U.O.M Wise in Java?
sequence can be vary. We cannot expect number of uoms and sequence of results.
i have created hashset and made unique uom.
{
value=100
uom=kg
},
{
value=200
uom=kg
},
{
value=100
uom=lt
},
{
value=100
uom=ab
},
{
value=100
uom=lt
}
Please provide some code ref

This is not valid JSON as it uses = as key\value separator (change to something like this and use tools like JSONLint to validate):
[{
"value": "100",
"uom": "kg"
}, {
"value": "200",
"uom": "kg"
}, {
"value": "100",
"uom": "lt"
}, {
"value": "100",
"uom": "ab"
}, {
"value": "100",
"uom": "lt"
}
]
Even having this structure you can parse it into a collection of touples (value, uom) and then just sum everything having same uom
For example you can use this:
javax.json.JsonArray body = Json.createReader(new StringReader(YOUR_JSON_STRING)).readArray();
and read a JSON to array of touples

mongodb query to find value in json

I started working with MongoDB. I prepared some basic training JSON:
{
"header": {
"Hotel": {
"data": [
{
"name": "Hilton",
"Id": "1231213421"
}
]
},
"standard": "5",
"priceStage": "4"
},
"data": {
"http": {
"strean": {}
}
}
}
and I wrote a query like this:
db.hotel.find( "data": { Id: "1231213421"})
Why query does not return anything?

You're trying to match on an element within an array and you don't need to match on the entire array. So,something like the following will work:
db.hotel.find({"header.Hotel.data": {"$elemMatch": {"Id": "1231213421"}}} );

Java: Properties file as JSON in Android

On the server I have a .properties file with the following structure
foo.0.a = foo0A
foo.0.b = foo0B
foo.1.a = foo1A
foo.1.b = foo1B
...
bar.0.a = bar0a
bar.0.b = bar0b
...
I'm using Volley to fetch the file from the server as JSONObject but the output is being returned in the following form
"properties": [
{
"key": "foo.0.a",
"type": "text/plain",
"value": "foo0A"
},
{
"key": "bar.0.a",
"type": "text/plain",
"value": "bar0a"
},
]
This is not the format I'm looking for, and I think it is not convenient anyway.
The wanted format is something like this:
{
"foo": [
{
"id": 0,
"a": "foo0a",
"b": "foo0b"
}, ...
]
"bar": [
{
"id": 0,
"a": "bar0a",
"b": "bar0b"
}, ...
]
}
My question: Should the properties' structure be changed? Or this can be solved by some code on the client side? If it should be changed, what is the best structure?
