Rest-Assured: Grabbing a JSON response inside an Array - java

Lets say I have a JSON response that returns an array:
[
{
"username": "dude",
"id": 123456,
},
{
"username": "hello",
"id": 654321,
}
]
How would I grab an element in the array using using Rest-Assured? For example I would just want to grab the first element of the array and print it.


Use following code
given()
.when()
.get()
.then().extract().path() // or .extract().jsonpath()

RestAssured, JSON: verify absence of a value in a field

I have the following example URI:
localhost/users
and this JSON coming as response when I send a request to it:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Joe"
,
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Ben"
,
{
"id": 4,
"name": "Jim"
}
}
]
How do I verify with RestAssured, for example that there are no user with id = 2?
Would it be something along the lines of this semi-pseudo:
given().spec(requestSpecification)
.when().get("/users")
.and().body("id==2", ????);
Any advice/guidance will be appreciated, thank you.

try this:
given().spec(requestSpecification)
.when().get("/users")
.and().body("id", is(not(equalTo(2))));
Usage rest-assured documentation section Use the response to verify other parts of the response provides more detail.
is(not(Matcher)) is provided by hamcrest

angular 6 array to JSON for spring backend

I have a Java backend that accepts a json response like this:
{
"accounts": [{
"t1_Title": "title1"
}, {
"t1_Title": "title2"
}]
}
In Angular i send an array to a service to be sent to the backend.
How do i add "accounts" to an array and keep the structure above from the array which is structured like this:
(2) [Array(1), Array(1)]
0: [{…}]
1: [{…}]
length: 2

Simply bind the array value to accounts key within a new object.
Example code :
let myArray = [{ "t1_Title": "title1" }, { "t1_Title": "title2" }]
//build JSON
let obj = {accounts : myArray};
// print JSON
console.log(obj)

Convert JSON Objects from JsonSlurper back to an appended JSONArray - Groovy

I have a json arrary with many json messsages. I then parse the json message to process each json object.
I need to figure out how to take a single json object that fails and append all the failed json objects back
into another json array to create a new file. I'm not sure how to convert a json object from the parseText() method
back to a normal json message or how to append objects back into a json array to create a file. Can someone help me with this?
Main json file array
[
{
"Account": "1",
"Name": "Test1"
},
{
"Account": "2",
"Name": "Test2"
},
{
"Account": "3",
"Name": "Test3"
},
{
"Account": "4",
"Name": "Test4"
}
]
String sJson = groovy.json.StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(jsonFile.toString());
jsonResp = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(sJson));
for( int x=0; x < jsonResp?.size(); x++ ) {
processJson( jsonResp[x] )
}
void processJson( Object jsonResp ) {
If object message fails in this function, need to convert the json object back into a json message
and append it to a jsonArray to create a new json file.
}
This is what the new json file would like if test samples 2 & 4 failed
[
{
"Account": "2",
"Name": "Test2"
},
{
"Account": "4",
"Name": "Test4"
}
]

I found the answer to my question.
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
jsonArray.add(jsonResp);
println jsonArray.toString()

Parsing JSON object from service call Spring JAVA

I am getting the following response from some service call . I am trying to parse the JSON . I am actually new to JAVA and not sure about how to parse JSON objects returned from HTTP call . I am getting the following error :

Well first of all, your json is not valid because of this}:
["list" : /* something here but anyway, not the concern here */ ]
when it should have been
{"list" : /* something here but anyway not the concern here */}
I think your problem is with the understanding of how a JSON file works and what is a json object and a json array. Please correct your JSON input so that we can provide you with insights on how to retrieve the value you need.
Additionally, I would recommend you looking into Jackson lib for parsing JSON objects to JAVA POJOs directly really easily. The link is a great tutorial to get you started here. Furthermore, jackson is already included with Spring so that you literally have nothing to install.
Edit
I misread the JSON input : I saw a : after "list" instead of a ,.
So your JSON is a proper JSON but its a quite uncommon JSON as it is loosely typed and therefore cannot be that easily parsed with standard Jackson library for example. In fact, in the main array, a string is put together with a Json Object which is a very bad practice but that's not your fault as I suppose you are not responsible for the output of this HTTP call.
So how can you actually get your value ? Well let's describe the JSON, you've got here : a JSON array containing a String and another sub JSON array. You want to take some values from the very first JSON object inside the nested json array.
This one :
{
"#type": "com.saba.services.calendar.CalendarElementDetail",
"eventType": "ILTCLASS",
"elementName": "Microservice Application Architecture",
"elementId": "class000000000013497",
"eventId": "timel000000000103609",
"ownerID": "emplo000000000096641",
"locationId": "locat000000000003165",
"locationName": "IND-Bangalore-Karnataka",
"additionalData": {
"#type": "map",
"locationTimeZone": "tzone000000000000042",
"eventID": "class000000000013497",
"locationName": "IND-Bangalore-Karnataka",
"locationId": "locat000000000003165",
"transcriptID": "ofapr000000002962367",
"registrationID": "regdw000000001766254",
"eventName": "Microservice Application Architecture",
"moduleID": "regmd000000002147176",
"courseID": "cours000000000031995"
},
"startDate": {
"#type": "com.saba.customtypes.DateWithLocale",
"date": 1538613000000,
"locale": "03-OCT-2018",
"timeInLocale": "8:30 PM",
"dateInUserTimeZone": "03-OCT-2018",
"timeInUserTimeZone": "5:30 PM",
"dateInCustomTimeZone": null,
"timeInCustomTimeZone": null,
"customTimeZoneDate": 0,
"timeInStandardFormat": "8:30 PM",
"dateInStandardFormat": "10/03/2018"
}
}
The first task here is to gather this object. Let's suppose the nested json array is always in the second position after the string and that the JSON object you want is always at the first position of the nested array which might not be the case depending on your input JSON but this was not precised in your question.
JSONArray mainArray = new JSONArray(resp);
// The nested array is at the second position : 1
JSONArray nestedArray = mainArray.getJSONArray(1);
// the interesting main JSONObject is on the first position
// of the nested array : 0
JSONObject interestingJSONObject = nestedArray.getJSONObject(0);
So now we want "courseId" from "additionnalData" Json Object :
String courseId = interestingJSONObject.getJSONObject("additionalData").getString("courseId");
And there you go!

java json string to url query string

Two days i spend to search efficent method to convert json string to url query string, for example
SRC:
"searchCriteria": {
"filterGroups": [
{
"filters": [
{
"field": "myfiled",
"value": "myvalue",
"conditionType": "eq"
}
]
}
],
"sortOrders": [
{
"field": "string",
"direction": "string"
}
],
"pageSize": 0,
"currentPage": 0
}
to:
http://host/api/?searchCriteria[filterGroups][][filters][][field]=myfield&searchCriteria[filterGroups][][filters][][value]=myvalue&searchCriteria[filterGroups][][filters][][conditionType]=eq&..
Some suggestions ?
A.

Thank U for answer, but ...
I've tryed to pass directly with payload json string and api give me an error, when I put instead query string like in my example, api respond in right way.
In PHP is very simple: json can be converted in array and so with function "http_build_query" it's done ! I'm suprised that not exist similar method .
