JsonNode
The JsonNode
class is a versatile class designed to work with JSON-like data structures. It provides a set of methods to navigate, manipulate, and extract information from JSON data. This class is particularly useful for handling and processing JSON data within your applications.
Methods
get(property: String): JsonNode
:
This method is used to retrieve a nested property (key) from the JSON-like data, returning a new JsonNode
representing the specified property.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode representing a JSON object
// Get a nested property from the JSON object
var nestedProperty = jsonObject.get("nestedProperty");
asText(): String
:
It returns the content of the JsonNode
as a string, assuming the content is textual.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode containing a textual value
// Get the content of the JsonNode as a string
var textValue = textNode.asText();
asInt(): Integer
:
This method converts the JsonNode
to an integer value if it's numeric; otherwise, it may throw an error or return a default value.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode containing a numeric value
// Get the JsonNode as an integer, handling non-numeric values
var intValue = numericNode.asInt();
asBoolean(): Boolean
:
Converts the JsonNode
to a Boolean value if it's a valid boolean value; otherwise, it may throw an error or return a default value.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode containing a boolean value
// Get the JsonNode as a Boolean, handling non-boolean values
var boolValue = booleanNode.asBoolean(); // May throw an exception for non-boolean values
isObject(): Boolean
:
Checks if the JsonNode
represents a JSON object and returns true
if it is an object, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Check if the JsonNode represents a JSON object
var isObject = jsonNode.isObject();
isArray(): Boolean
:
Similar to isObject
, this method checks if the JsonNode
represents a JSON array and returns true
if it is an array, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Check if the JsonNode represents a JSON array
var isArray = jsonNode.isArray();
isNumber(): Boolean
:
Determines if the JsonNode
represents a numeric value and returns true
if it's numeric, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Check if the JsonNode represents a numeric value
var isNumber = jsonNode.isNumber();
isBoolean(): Boolean
:
Checks if the JsonNode
represents a Boolean value and returns true
if it's a boolean, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Check if the JsonNode represents a Boolean value
var isBoolean = jsonNode.isBoolean();
isNull(): Boolean
:
Checks if the JsonNode
is null and returns true
if it's null, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Check if the JsonNode is null
var isNull = jsonNode.isNull();
isTextual(): Boolean
:
Determines if the JsonNode
contains textual data and returns true
if it's textual, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode containing textual data
// Check if the JsonNode contains textual data
var isTextual = textNode.isTextual();
toPrettyString(): String
:
This method returns a nicely formatted, pretty-printed string representation of the JSON data contained in the JsonNode
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Get a pretty-printed string representation of the JSON data
var prettyJson = jsonNode.toPrettyString();
toString(): String
:
Returns a string representation of the JSON data contained in the JsonNode
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode
// Get a string representation of the JSON data
var jsonString = jsonNode.toString();
hasNonNull(filed: String): Boolean
:
Checks if the JsonNode
contains a non-null field with the specified name and returns true
if it exists and is not null, otherwise false
.
// Assuming you have a JsonNode representing a JSON object
// Check if the JsonNode has a non-null field named "fieldName"
var hasField = jsonObject.hasNonNull("fieldName");
Examples
Example: JSON Property Retrieval
// Assuming you have a JSON object retrieved from Context.getCreatedBy()
var json = Context.getStartedBy(); // getStartedBY method of Context Class
// Get a specific property from the JSON object
var propertyNode = json.get("propertyName");
if (propertyNode != null) {
var propertyValue = propertyNode.asText();
return ("Value of 'propertyName': " + propertyValue);
} else {
return ("The 'propertyName' property does not exist in the JSON object.");
}
