How to remove an attribute from RequestSpecification/FilterableRequestSpecification body?

Dears,
I am working on creating a simple method which will take String argument which will be a path or other kind "pointer" to attribute/s in JSON and this method will remove those attribute/s.
My problem is I can find values of those attribute/s using JsonPath, but I can't find methods in rest assured (or other libraries) which could remove/delete attributes by given path.
JSON is already added earlier so i need to pull him from RequestSpecification or FilterableRequestSpecification object ex.
RequestSpecification rs = *objFromContext*;
FilterableRequestSpecification frs= (FilterableRequestSpecification) rs;
frs.getBody();
I've tried to work with JSONObject class and remove() but it doesn't work on complex JSONs.
given example JSON
{
"created": "string",
"updated": "string",
"items": [
{
"code": "TEST",
"nested": {
"code": "test",
"name": "name",
"other": [
{
"code": "TEST",
"name": "myName",
"quantity": 1
}
]
},
"itemsProperties": [
{
"code": "value1",
"name": "name",
"value": 123
}
]
},
{
"code": "TEST",
"nested": {
"code": "test",
"name": "name",
"other": [
{
"code": "TEST",
"name": "myName",
"quantity": 1
}
]
},
"itemsProperties": [
{
"code": "value2",
"name": "name",
"value": 123
}
]
}
],
"timer": {
"startDate": "2015-01-01",
"endDate": "2021-01-02"
},
"id": "myId"
}
using JsonPath jp = JsonPath.from(httpRequest.getBody().toString());
and then jp.get(items.itemsproperties.code) i can find value1 and value2.
I stuck in this point: How to remove those attributes from sended body?
I know i can convert body into JSONObject and then go field after field conversion between getJSONArray and GetJSONOBject and remove those fields, but i would like to make this metod much more universal.
Is this possible?

If you want to manipulate json in Rest-Assured JsonPath, then the answer is No. You can't do that. JsonPath help you to extract value from json, that's it, no more.
You have to use different libraries to remove key-value pair.
For example: using JsonPath Jayway
DocumentContext parse = JsonPath.parse(body);
parse.delete("$..itemsProperties..code");
System.out.println(parse.jsonString());

How can I store and update the nested json object into couchbase using java sdk

I am using couchbase Community Edition 5.0.1 and java-client 2.7.4. I want to store the following nested json object into couchbase. If I want to update the same object without affecting the other fields.
Eg:
If I want to add one more player object under players object
array
If I want to add One more group say 'Z Group' under group object array
How can I Achieve this without affecting other fields.
{
"doctype": "config:sample",
"group": [{
"name": "X Group",
"id": 1,
"players": [{
"name": "Roger Federer",
"number": 3286,
"keyword": "tennies"
},
{
"name": "P. V. Sindhu",
"number": 4723,
"keyword": "badminton"
}
]
},
{
"name": "Y Group",
"id": "2",
"players": [{
"name": "Jimmy Connors",
"number": 5623,
"keyword": "tennies"
},
{
"name": "Sachin",
"number": 8756,
"keyword": "Cricket"
}
]
}
]
}

N1QL has a huge variety of functions to operate on arrays:
https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/n1ql/n1ql-language-reference/arrayfun.html
In your case, you could simply use ARRAY_INSERT or ARRAY_PREPEND

Check out update/update-for syntax (last example) https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/n1ql/n1ql-language-reference/update.html
UPDATE default AS d
SET d.group = ARRAY_APPEND(d.group, {......})
WHERE .....;
UPDATE default AS d
SET g.players = ARRAY_APPEND(g.players, {......}) FOR g IN d.group WHEN g.id = 2 END
WHERE .....;

If you know which document IDs you want to update you can use the key-value subdocument API, which will generally be faster than going via N1QL for a single document update.
This will add a new player to the end of X Group's "players" array:
bucket.mutateIn(docId)
.arrayAppend("group[0].players",
JsonObject.create()
.put("name", "John Smith"))
// ... other player JSON
.execute();
And this will add a new Group Z to the "group" array:
bucket.mutateIn(docId)
.arrayAppend("group",
JsonObject.create()
.put("name", "Z Group"))
// ... other group JSON
.execute();

ormlite store unknown foreign object in DatabaseField

For example :
i need an Animals table which will contain animal_type as Object or T type as foreign relation field.
then i will have 10 different tables like Dog/Cat/Horse etc.
at the time of insertion based on type of animal i would set animal_type of Animal object.
I don't want to take multiple databaseField for each type as a foreign relation, instead i need one generic field , Using ormlite version 5.0.
please refer this json:{
"animal": {
"type": 1,
"content": {
"items": [
{
"title": "Image",
"desc": "This is item with image",
"media": {
"url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Earth_rise_from_the_Moon_AS11-44-6550_2.JPG",
"type": 0
},
"options": [
{
"title": "View",
"value": "view"
},
{
"title": "Download",
"value": "download"
}
],
"url": "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AEarth_rise_from_the_Moon_AS11-44-6550_2.JPG"
}
]
}
}
}

Jackson - Deserialize Array without property name

I have the following JSON response from shipcloud.io:
[
{
"name": "dhl",
"display_name": "Deutsche Post DHL",
"services": [
"standard",
"returns",
"one_day",
"one_day_early"
],
"package_types": [
"parcel",
"bulk"
]
},
{
"name": "dpag",
"display_name": "Deutsche Post",
"services": [
"standard"
],
"package_types": [
"letter",
"parcel_letter",
"books"
]
},
{
"name": "dpd",
"display_name": "DPD - Dynamic Parcel Distribution",
"services": [
"standard",
"returns",
"one_day",
"one_day_early"
],
"package_types": [
"parcel",
"parcel_letter"
]
}
]
How can I deserialize this JSON array with Jackson? Usually I use a simple POJO and define
the property name of the list / array (#JsonProperty("blub") e.g.). Problem is, there is no property name used here...
I tried it using an empty property name, but it didn't work.
I'm just getting this error message:
Can not deserialize instance of Response.CarriersResponse out of
START_ARRAY token

If you want to use jackson, this is the solution that works for me:
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, false);

You are deserializing multiple objects of the type, so you need to do it as a list, like this
// somewhere in an example TypeReferences class
public static final TypeReference<List<Response.CarriersResponse>> CARRIER_RESPONSES = new TypeReference<List<Response.CarriersResponse>>() {
};
// elsewhere where you're calling the mapper
List<Response.CarriersResponse> responses = mapper.readValue(text, TypeReferences.CARRIER_RESPONSES);
You could instantiate it in-place, but that's a design decision between performance vs total memory consumption.

Try to deserialize to Response.CarriersResponse[] class.
Response.CarriersResponse[] responses = mapper.readValue(text, Response.CarriersResponse[].class);

gson json parser: value without key

I want to parse a json structure like this:
{"response":
{
"arr1":[count,{...}],
"arr2":[count,{...}]
}
}
Everything is ok if count have key "count" (for example). But the key is blank. Is it any way to map this structure and manually retrive only this value or i need to parse all of this json myself without gson ?
UPDATED
Here is a valid json (checked with http://jsonlint.com/)
{
"response": {
"arr1": [
615,
{
"body": "hi",
"title": "Re(2): ..."
},
{
"body": "hello",
"title": "Re(23): ..."
}
],
"arr2": [
132,
{
"body": "hi",
"title": "Re(2): ..."
},
{
"body": "hello",
"title": "Re(23): ..."
}
]
}
}

If you want to parse arbitrary collections you should read Serializing and Deserializing Collection with Objects of Arbitrary Types and look at the example code example code.
