Navigating through JSONObject Android - java

I am trying to implement a method which is able to navigate through a JSONObject until it finds a given parameter. My JSON is structured like a foldersystem. There are folders and every folder can have files.A folder can have another folder and so on.JSON is looking like this:
{
"Elements": [
{
"file": {
"files": [
{
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"modified": 1457608018166,
"name": "Bild1"
},
{
"id": "0efd76e7-730e-428a-96a4-95e04844070a",
"modified": 1457608018166,
"name": "Audio"
},
{
"files": [
{
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"modified": 1457608018166,
"name": "Bild2"
},
{
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"modified": 1457608018166,
"name": "Bild3"
},
{
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"modified": 1457608018166,
"name": "Bild4"
}
],
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"name": "FolderInRoot"
}
],
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"name": "RootFolder"
}
},
{
"file": {
"files": [],
"id": "562dd7a2-9268-46b2-8963-b7a3b43e906e",
"name": "AnotherRootFolder"
}
}
]
}
So for example I want to edit "Bild2" which has the path "/RootFolder/FolderInRoot/Bild2". Has someone a method which navigates to that given position. The path should be the parameter.

You need to loop through the your JSON response until you get to the correct depth, and then you can use getString("name") to get the content at that key (i.e. Bild2). Once you get the content from the object/key you can add it to a List or Map to iterate over or do anything else you want with the data. See this StackOverflow question for more info: Java loop over Json array?
You also might want to consider using the Gson library to make your parsing a lot easier. If you are able to add Gson to the project (and I suggest that you do), there are a ton of great tutorials for parsing data and deserializing JSON into plain Java objects (which will save you the headache of nested loops). Using GSON in Android to parse a complex JSON object and http://blog.nkdroidsolutions.com/how-to-parsing-json-array-using-gson-in-android-tutorial/ are two good resources to begin with.
(P.S. you might want to consider simplifying your JSON structure if possible because it will be a lot easier to work with).

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());

I am trying to save the values for CoachID (3028), IgpID(1872), IgpId(1911), IgpName(Dr. heath), IgpNAME(Dr Jc crook) in String variables in APex class.
I have used a map to do so but unable to get the proper values. I wanted to get the above values in a List & return that list from function.
Can anyone help me on this? I am not supposed to do this using wrapper.
Regards,
Mohit
It can't be done as straight "JSON.deserialize" call because some fields are reserved keywords in Apex. How strict the wrapper ban is? I wouldn't want to type this stuff freehand but you can go to https://json2apex.herokuapp.com/, tick checkbox about explicit parser (again, since you have reserved keywords it'd happen anyway) and well, you have a ready class & cool stab at unit test / example how to use the code. It's battle-tested, if you can't use that then your project has bigger problems ;)
If you really really have to do it alone and with maps it'll be something like https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_class_System_Json.htm, example for deserializeUntyped

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,

I want to create a hive table based on JSON objects inside "data" JSON array. I want to do this in Java. I dont want to do "select data.id,data.from from temptable". I want to do something similar to to a select * query. It should automatically infer schema from json objects. I came to find explode function in python and scala.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31859271/sparksql-and-explode-on-dataframe-in-java
Is there something similar in Java??
In Java there is exactly the same thing:
org.apache.spark.sql.functions.explode(Column e)
which returns Column

Most memory efficient way to re format a JSON array in Java

Say I have a JSON array similar to the following:
[
{
"title": "This is a title",
"year": 2013,
"images": {
"image": "http://........jpg",
},
"ratings": {
"thumbsup": 1053,
"thumbsdown": 256
}
},
{
"title": "This is a title",
"year": 2013,
"images": {
"image": "http://........jpg",
},
"ratings": {
"thumbsup": 1053,
"thumbsdown": 256
}
}
]
And the required output is a JSON array like this:
[
{
"title": "This is a title",
"images": {
"image": "http://........jpg",
},
"ratings": {
"thumbsup": 1053,
}
},
{
"title": "This is a title",
"images": {
"image": "http://........jpg",
},
"ratings": {
"thumbsup": 1053,
}
}
]
Iv'e been researching and it's suggested that the most efficient way would be to parse it using the Jackson streaming API. This is for use on a PaaS with limited memory, so I wish to keep the memory usage to the bare minimum.
Is the best way to parse the JSON with Jackson Streaming API, and construct a new JSON array at the same time or simply remove the elements somehow?
I did something similiar with XML once. You can have the requestor tell you what fields you want to get back, and have it only emit those. In my case I had no control over the 3rd party axis xml view, but once I had the view, when I asked for things from it if it was already there I could give back just the pieces I was interested in. As a bonus, if you are marshalling or unmarshalling real java objects from the JSON after getting the json or XML you don't need to build the part of the object graph you don't care about.
