I'm trying to fetch all the element names and values from a JSON. Basically, I will be getting a JSON response and need to compare it to an XML response. The approach I have decided on for now is to get all element names and values from both the JSON and the XML, and then store them in separate lists. Finally, I will just compare the lists.
Q1. Is there a better way to do what I am planning? (Compare JSON to XML)
If no, I'm facing some troubles while doing this. My JSON is a nested JSON and I need to fetch the values of ALL elements and their names. However, using the JSON, I am able to get only the outermost element. I need this fetch to be dynamic since I want to re-use the same code later for other similar comparisons
(Using a sample XML I found in another answer on StackOverflow)
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.XML;
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder;
import java. util.ArrayList;
import java. util.Iterator
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
xml = """
{
"master": {
"node": "xyz",
"files": [{"type": "modified", "file": "test.txt"}]
},
"testbranch2": {
"node": "abc",
"files": [{"type": "modified", "file": "test.txt"}]
},
"testbranch": {
"node": "xxx",
"files": [{"type": "modified", "file": "test.txt"}],
}
}
"""
def json = new JSONObject(xml);
def test = new JsonSlurper().parseText(json.toString())
log.info test.keySet()
log.info test.Outer.keySet()
The json.keys() only manages to get the outermost key, and not all.
Thanks in advance!
