How do you access the data sent from REST POST with Postman if you have an open mapper in Snaplogic?
For example, I have inserted some JSON code with key and values like this:
And I want to work with it and transform it in a Mapper snap but I can't access it. Normal expressions using "$" didn't work for me.
I assume that you are using a triggered task.
At the beginning of your pipeline, use a JSON Parser and you'll be able to capture the whole JSON that you are passing in the body of your API call.

I have a web-hook that calls an API that returns a single plain text response. The response isn't formatted in JSON or xml because the response is a single piece of data, not a map or array. I see plenty of examples of how to extract a field from a JSON response and store it in a marketo token but no example of how to store the whole response payload. Here is a sample response from the API:
alsdfjasdhfalksdhfalksdjalksdk
Note that the response is not anything like this:
{
"field":"alsdfjasdhfalksdhfalksdjalksdk"
}
Maybe some Marketo expert has done this and could share. I'd appreciate it, thanks.
Marketo's parsing of XML and JSON is limited, to say the least--so your webhook does need to declare some sort of key-value pair so the response can be mapped. Given what you're describing, you could likely just hardcode in the surrounding JSON with the right MIME type and be fine.
Basically, Marketo can only handle the following for JSON webhook responses:
Key-value pair
Key can only be defined by placement (no XPath or similar--you'd be stuck with field[1] or similar)
Ideally no nesting, as Marketo doesn't do a great job of reading nested data--largely for the reason mentioned above
I need to create a Logic Apps workflow with three steps:
When HTTP Request is received (JSON)
Convert Json from request to XML
Save XML file to FTP
What I have done so far:
Add action "When HTTP Request is received"
Add Liquid to Convert JSON to XML
(but i don't see option JSON to XML...Only Tranform JSON to JSON, JSON to
TEXT, XML to JSON, XML to TEXT)
Add action "FTP - Create file"
I also created Integration Account and try to add map for mapping JSON to XML, but I can't find any examples/templates to do this...
Is it possible at all ? Maybe there is another way to convert between these two formats ?
When you just want to convert a JSON payload to an XML file, without doing any transformation to the data, you can use the built-in xml() function of the Workflow Definition Language.
Detailed info in the docs: Workflow Definition Language reference #xml
I've made a small test Logic App to demo your usecase. It looks like this:
As you can see I use the xml function on the triggerbody #xml(triggerBody()) as an input for my FTP file content.
Remark: This will only work if your JSON message has a single rootnode. Otherwise the xml conversion will fail. You'll get this error:
The provided value cannot be converted to XML: 'JSON root object has multiple properties. The root object must have a single property in order to create a valid XML document. Consider specifying a DeserializeRootElementName.
You can work around that by concatenating a rootnode to your JSON payload. The function then would look like: #xml(json(concat('{\"rootnode\":',triggerBody(),'}')))
Good luck testing this out. Let me know if you need more help with this.
I can register a so called webhook in JIRA if I want JIRA to inform an external application about changes. Some JSON is generated when an issue is changed and sent to the webhook.
Is this JSON ...just a Stirng...or is it the representation of a specific Java class? If this would be the case: which class is it?
Or: how to I have to handle this JSON when it is sent to my SpringBoot application (webhook)? Just as a String or can I map this JSON via Jackson to a particular class...and how do I have to do this?
A callback for an issue-related event is structured like this...
I'm building a REST API in JAVA and C# and I was wondering about the way I should pass data to those services.
What I'm familiar with as the right way is to send JSON object as the data in the POST body:
{name:'Dor'}
but I can also pass a string and parse the JSON in my service:
'{name:'Dor'}'
What is the preferable way from performance factor? or any other factors?
Basically, if you need to send the json data across via jquery, then we need to use stringify, else the data would be serialized into to key=value pair.
So, you cannot send the json object directly via jquery ajax method.
How it works behind the hood:
In $.ajax function, if we provide data as
data :{key1:"value1", key2:"value2"}
is serialized to key1=value1&key2=value2
if we provide data as
data :'{key1:"value1", key2:"value2"}' or JSON.stringify({key1:"value1", key2:"value2"})
is sent as {key1:"value1", key2:"value2"}
So, what we can conclude is that, we cannot pass json object directly via jquery, we can send only json string. Hope this clarifies everyone.
I have a question regarding REST Assured. - https://code.google.com/p/rest-assured/wiki/Usage
I understand that I can use REST assured to make HTTP calls(.get .put etc.) and validate the response using when() etc. I would like to validate JSON responses that I have already saved in the database, instead of Calling the web service realtime and validating it's response.
Can I use REST-assured to Load a JSON response as a String and validate it?
Yes you can use Rest Assured's JsonPath project independently of Rest Assured (see getting started page). Once you have it in classpath you can do something like this:
JsonPath jsonPath = new JsonPath(<your json as string>);
String title = jsonPath.getString("x.y.title");
