I am very unfamiliar with JSON and have been assigned a task to retrieve data from an application using SoapUI with JSON. I am able to access the data, but was wondering if there is a way to use a wildcard character to download all records, instead of being limited by attributes.
My code:
{"__type":"GetPatientsRequest:http:\/\/services.varian.com\/AriaWebConnect\/Link",
"Attributes":null,
"FirstName":{"Value":""},
"IsMultipleNamesRequired":{"Value":null},
"LastName":{"Value":"JACKSON"},
"MatchingCriteria":{"Value":null},
"PatientId1":{"Value":""}
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Am having trouble identifying the propert format to store a json request body in csv format, then use the csv file value in a scenario.
This works properly within a scenario:
And request '{"contextURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321","individuals":[{"individualURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321:individual:12345678","name":{"firstName":"NUNYA","lastName":"BIDNESS"},"dateOfBirth":"1980-03-01","address":{"streetAddressLine1":"1 Myplace","streetAddressLine2":"","city":"LANDBRANCH","countrySubdivisionCode":"WV","postalCode":"25506","countryCode":"USA"},"objectType":"INDIVIDUAL"},{"individualURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321:individual:23456789","name":{"firstName":"NUNYA","lastName":"BIZNESS"},"dateOfBirth":"1985-03-01","address":{"streetAddressLine1":"1 Myplace","streetAddressLine2":"","city":"BRANCHLAND","countrySubdivisionCode":"WV","postalCode":"25506","countryCode":"USA"},"objectType":"INDIVIDUAL"}]}'
However, when stored in csv file as follows (I've tried quite a number other formatting variations)
'{"contextURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321","individuals":[{"individualURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321:individual:12345678","name":{"firstName":"NUNYA","lastName":"BIDNESS"},"dateOfBirth":"1980-03-01","address":{"streetAddressLine1":"1 Myplace","streetAddressLine2":"","city":"LANDBRANCH","countrySubdivisionCode":"WV","postalCode":"25506","countryCode":"USA"},"objectType":"INDIVIDUAL"},{"individualURN":"urn:com.myco.here:env:booking:reservation:0987654321:individual:23456789","name":{"firstName":"NUNYA","lastName":"BIZNESS"},"dateOfBirth":"1985-03-01","address":{"streetAddressLine1":"1 Myplace","streetAddressLine2":"","city":"BRANCHLAND","countrySubdivisionCode":"WV","postalCode":"25506","countryCode":"USA"},"objectType":"INDIVIDUAL"}]}',
and used in scenario as:
And request requestBody
my test returns an "javascript evaluation failed: " & the json above & :1:63 Missing close quote ^ in at line number 1 at column number 63
Can you please identify correct formatting or the usage errors I am missing? Thanks
We just use a basic CSV library behind the scenes. I suggest you roll your own Java helper class that does whatever processing / pre-processing you need.

I can't make sense of your JSON but if you are trying to fit JSON into CSV, sorry - that's not a good idea. See this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62449166/143475
I have a JSON file in Azure Blob storage that I need to parse and insert rows into SQL using the Logic App.
I am using the "Get Blob Content" and my first attempt was to then pass to "Parse JSON". It returns and error": InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Parse_JSON' inputs at line '1' and column '2856'"
I found some discussion that indicated that the content needs to be converted to a string so I used "Compose" and edited the code as suggested to
"inputs": "#base64ToString(body('Get_blob_content').$content)"
This works but then the InvalidTemplate issue gets pushed to the Parse function and I get the InvalidTemplate error there. I have tried wrapping the output in JSON expression and a few other things but I just can't get it to parse.
If I take a sample or even the entire JSON and put it into the INPUT of the Parse function it works without issue but it will not accept the blob content as JSON.
The only thing I have been able to do successfully from blob content is to take it as a string and update a row in SQL to later use the OPENJSON in SQL...but I run into an issue there that is for another post.
I am at a loss of what to do.
You don't post much information about your logic app actions, so maybe you could refer to my flow design. I test with a json data with array.
The below is my flow picture. I'm not using compose action, and use decodeBase64(body('Get_blob_content')['$content']) as the Parse Json content.
And if select property from the json, you need set the array index. I set a variable to get a value 'body('Parse_JSON')1['name']'.
you could have a try with this, if still fail, please provide more information or some sample to let us have a test.
Currently testing system where the output is in the form of formatted json.
As part of my tests I need to extract and validate two values from the json record.
The values both have individual identifiers on them but don't appear in the same part of the record, so I can't just grab a single long string.
Loose format of the information in both cases:
"identifier1": [{"identifier2":"idname","values":["bit_I_want!]}]
In the case of the bit I want, this can either be a single quoted value (e.g. "12345") or multiple quoted values (e.g. "12345","23456","98765").
In both cases I'm only interested in validating the whole string of values, not individual values from the set.
Can anyone recommend which of the various extractors in Jmeter would be best to achieve this?
Many Thanks!
The most obvious choicse seems to be JSON Path Assertion (available via JMeter Plugins), it allows not only executing arbitrary JSON queries but conditionally failing the sampler basing on actual and expected result match.
The recommended way of installing JMeter Plugins and keeping them up-to-date is using JMeter Plugins Manager
JMeter 3.1 comes with JSON Extractor to parse JSON response. you could use this expression $.identifier1[0].values
as the JSON Path to extract the values.
If your JSON response is going to simple always as shown in your question, you could use Regular Expression Extractor as well. Advantage is it is faster than JSON extractor. The regular expression would be "values":\[(.*?)\]

I'm using the MarkLogic 7 REST API to build an AngularJS application on top of an XML document database. My documents are in NEWSML-G2 format. I've configured custom query options to return only the title and the creation date for each document that matches the search string. The problem is this.
I have a title element in my XML.
<nitf version="-//IPTC//DTD NITF 3.6//EN" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:newzmeta="http://newz.nl/metadata/" xmlns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/">
<head>
<title newz:origin="Generated" xmlns:newz="http://newz.nl/">Test Article</title>
....
</nitf>
In my custom query options, I've used the following line.
<extract-metadata>
<qname elem-ns="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/" elem-name="title"/>
....
</extract-metadata>
Now, the problem is that when I hit the REST interface to make a query and ask for results in JSON format, I get the following in the response
"metadata":[{"{http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/}title":"Obama assumes the office of the President of the United States","metadata-type":"element"},{" {http://iptc.org/std/nar/2006-10-01/}firstCreated":"2009-01-20T05:00:09","metadata-type":"element"}]
How do I retrieve the title value on the UI side? I get a syntax error if I ask for
result.metadata.{http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/}title
Is there a way specifically to access this value, or to somehow change the name of the element that's returned from the MarkLogic side?
You can do this:
result.metadata.['{http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/}title']
The bracket notation is used to access properties whose names are not valid JavaScript identifiers, preventing you from using the dot notation.
For completeness, an alternative approach would be to write and install a transform for the search response that generates either metadata elements in the empty namespace or a JSON representation that's tuned to your requirements.
But, the simplest way is just to use the bracket notation as Dave suggests.
If I wanted to save a contact form submission to the database, how can I insert the form scope in as the submission? It's been some time since I used Coldfusion.
The contact forms vary depending on what part of the site it was submitted from, so it needs to scale and handle a form with 5 fields or one with 10 fields. I just want to store the data in a blob table.
Most space efficient way and least complicated to turn back into original shape is using serializeJSON. After that, you can use something like key:value|key:value, or XML representation of your struct.
Cfwddx is also an alternative.
I don't know that there is a way to store a native structure into a database, but have you thought about using JSON to represent your object as key-pair values and then parsing it into a native structure after retrieving it from the database?
There are tags/functions out there that will help you with the encoding and decoding into JSON:
cfJSON Tag
CF8 Serialize JSON
CF8 Deserialize JSON
If you can't normalize the form fields into proper table(s), you can try storing them:
in XML (SQL Server supports XML pretty well), or
in JSON (in a plain varchar field), or
ObjectLoad() & ObjectSave() (CF9 only) to store as blob.
IIRC there are ways to get object load/save functionality in pre-CF9 by tapping into Java. http://www.riaforge.org/ or http://cflib.org/ might have it.
