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());

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"}]}

Sort the JSON Body of HTTP Request alphabetically [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to create json, sorted on keys, using gson?
(3 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am doing an API call with certain parameters. The body of the Request is something like this:
{
"billing": {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Master",
"email": "abc.com"
},
"address": {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Master",
"email": "abc.com",
"telephone": "+919999999999"
},
"payments": [
{
"code": "abcd",
"amount": 500
}
],
"refno": "abcd123",
"successUrl": "https://baseurl/ordercomplete/success",
"failureUrl": "https://baseurl/ordercomplete/failure",
"products": [
{
"sku": "sampleSKU",
"price": 500,
"qty": 1,
"currency": 356,
"giftMessage": "",
"theme": ""
}
],
"syncOnly": true,
"deliveryMode": "API"
}
I want to sort the parameters of the request alphabetically. The sorting should be done at outer level and inner level as well. For example, address should come before billing after the sort. Within the internal JSON also I want it to be sorted. For example in the billing struct email should come before lastname.
So the answer that I am looking for is:
{
"address": {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Master",
"email": "abc.com",
"telephone": "+919999999999"
},
"billing": {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Master",
"email": "abc.com"
},
"deliveryMode": "API",
"failureUrl": "https://baseurl/ordercomplete/failure",
"payments": [
{
"code": "abcd",
"amount": 500
}
],
"products": [
{
"sku": "sampleSKU",
"price": 500,
"qty": 1,
"currency": 356,
"giftMessage": "",
"theme": ""
}
],
"refno": "abcd123",
"successUrl": "https://baseurl/ordercomplete/success",
"syncOnly": true
}
I think I can do this by creating multiple POJO class having all the field and then implement a comparator which will sort it alphabetically. But this way of doing will make it very difficult even if a single field in the parameter of the request body change.
So I was thinking can we do it some better way where we do not have to worry about the field structure.

You could use Jackson ObjectMapper and configure ObjectMapper as
om.configure(SerializationFeature.ORDER_MAP_ENTRIES_BY_KEYS, true);
Hope it was useful.

tExtractJSONField From tFileInputJSON - Talent Open Studio

I am very new to Talend Open Studio for DI. I am trying to read data from the below JSON File :
{
"data": [
{
"id": "X999_Y999",
"from": {
"name": "Tom Brady", "id": "X12"
},
"message": "Looking forward to 2010!",

"updated_time": "2010-08-02T21:27:44+0000"
}
]
}
I want to load three attributes into my table ( id, actions_name and actions_link). So, in the first step (tFileInputJSON) - I tried to do a Loop Json query as below:
Here, am able to extract the rows as I needed. But, then I used a tExtractJSONField to extract individual fields under "actions" for each "id" using XPath expressions as below:
I tried several other ways to extract the fields but could not do this. Also, not able to find any correct post in stack overflow and talent forums very relevant to my question. Could somebody please help?

Arrange the job like ,
tFileInputJSON is like,
tExtractJSONFields is like,
Then you will get output as,

}
]
}
This is my json string from the web service it contains created_time field. Which is in a weird format and not mapping on my java class using GSON Library. Now I want to store it in s string then cast it into date time format. Is that possible? Because I'm unable to understand this format. May be this is unix time.
