Condition based API url in JSON - json

Question

I am using a JSON to make a call to some APIs. My sample JSON is something like :
{
"call": [
{
"url": "https://URL",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json"
}
]
}
My requirement is to select the URL based on some condition. For example, if employeeType='Employee'
the url in the above JSON should be https://URL1 and if employeeType='Contractor' then the url should be https://URL2.
Is this possible to achieve? and how?

Answer 1

Yes possible. You can use JsonConvert.SerializeObject and write to the file.
Here is the code.
dynamic json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<object>(jsson);
int count = 0;
foreach (dynamic item in json["call"])
{
if (item.employeeType=="Contractor")
{
json["call"][count].url = "https://URL2";
string output = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(json, Formatting.Indented);
File.WriteAllText("YOUR JSON DATA PATH", output);
count++;
}
else if (item.employeeType == "Employee")
{
json["call"][count].url = "https://URL1";
string output = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(json, Formatting.Indented);
File.WriteAllText("YOUR JSON DATA PATH", output);
count++;
}
}
And here is the json file that I edited.
{
"call": [
{
"url": "https://URL2",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"employeeType": "Contractor"//I added employeeType if you want to fetch data from here
},
{
"url": "https://URL1",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"employeeType": "Employee"
},
{
"url": "https://URL1",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"employeeType": "Employee"
}
]
}
