Is there any way to handle “Array response” return from API call

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm testing a API where it return response as a Array,I am finding it difficult in storing in list or Array?

I am using JsonPath to fetch the records

API response looks like this

[
    "String1",
    "String2",
    "String3",
    "String4",
    "String5"
]

I am Using below code

Response response;
JsonPath jsonPathEvaluator = response.jsonPath();
jsonPathEvaluator.getString("[0]");

It is better if you have tags for you element lists if they are of one type:-

{  
   "Strings":[  
      "String1",
      "String2",
      "String3",
      "String4",
      "String5"
   ]
}

JsonArray arrObj = empObj.getJsonArray("Strings");

This will return you a JsonArray that you can convert to any type based on your s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/requirement">requirement

If you cannot change the input json , maybe this could help :-

 String [] json = new  String[10];
 obj = parser.parse(response);
 String jsoString = obj.toString();
 List<String> items = Arrays.asList(jsoString.split("\\s*,\\s*"));
