I'm trying to extract the JSON block from the HTTP response and depending on the condition, I want to extract a particular block of JSON.
For eg.:
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
},
"expensive": 10
}
From the above JSON response, I want a block of a particular book where, price is less than 10 i.e.
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
}
I'm trying to use JSON Extractor in JMeter 5.0.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sid
Have you tried this example:
$.store.book[?(#.price < 10)]
from the JSONPath documenation?
It appears to be exactly what you're looking for:
Also be informed that according to 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so I would recommend upgrading to JMeter 5.2.1 (or latest stable JMeter version) as soon as possible

Below is the server response in a JSON format which I need to work on, In this JSON some of the objects I need to pass in the next request, which I am successfully able to do for the first occurrence, but the problem is coming on randomization in the below JSON
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "test_title",
"price": 12.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "India",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
},
"expensive": 10
}
if I apply $..book[0][?(#.title == 'Sword of Honour')].author condition I am seeing successful output but when I use $..book[1][?(#.title == 'Sword of Honour')].author I get a blank O/P which I understand all because at book[1] level there is not title like that.
How do I randomize the data in every Iteration so that it picks different authors for the same title? we have to take multiple values from JSON and pass it in the next request.
Extract all the titles using JSON Extractor:
It will give you the following variables:
title_1=Sword of Honour
title_2=test_title
title_3=Sword of Honour
title_4=India
title_matchNr=4
Then you can use __Random() and __V() functions combination to refer the random book title where required:
${__V(title_${__Random(1,${title_matchNr},)},)}
My scenario involves answering a quiz that contains 50+ questions. Hitting the questions endpoint gives me all question Ids in a quiz but each ID has at least 5 answer Ids and I need to loop through 50+ questions and select at least one answer ID for each to submit the answer.
Currently, I have the following in Jmet3er
Get Request - To Fetch all Questions Ids and all answer Ids
Json Extractor 1 - Storing All Question IDs
Json Extractor 2 - Storing just 1 answer ID from the first question
ForEach Controller - to loop through question Ids
Counter - n
Submit Answer Request - for each question but with the same answer I
Please advise
Thanks
You can use JsonPath Filter Operators in order to map an answer to the question
For example given this JSON:
{
"store": {
"book": [
{
"category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{
"category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "The Lord of the Rings",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
},
"expensive": 10
}
you can have all 4 authors via this JsonPath query:
$..author
However if you want to determine the author of The Lord of the Rings books you can use the aforementioned Filter Expression like:
$..[?(#.title == 'The Lord of the Rings')].author

I have a JSON look like this and if I make a query
jsonPath($.book[?(#.price)]).is("8.95") it works.
{"book": [
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
]
}
But, if I have a JSON with only one object inside it, the same query logic won't work. i.e jsonPath($.book[?(#.price)]).is("8.95")
Any thoughts why ?
{"book": [
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
}
]}
I need to stick with query as I'm not sure whether the API will return multiple object or single one.
Oh, I found that's Gatling's bug, it is not able to parse the jsonPath with query having some braces e.g. { or [ or )

How to handle when REST service response is returned as Json Array: for e.g:
[{"boolField":true,"intField":991, "StringField":"SampleString"},
{"boolField":false, "intField":998, "StringField": "SampleString2"}]";
All the blogs & examples I have seen didn't deal with the scenario mentioned above. For example, I went through http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/ expression syntax, but couldn't locate the solution.
For example the following json, if I want to get all the authors, I can use $.store.book[*].author or $..author
{ "store": {
"book": [
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}]}
}
However, if the REST service response is returned like below, then how to get all authors from the list
[
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
}
]
$..author will retrieve all of the authors.
In general when your root object is an array, you can think of the $ as an array and do things like $[0] to inspect the first item (You'll still get an array back however).
In my case [0].author worked (I left out the $).
If I have the following JSON
[
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "The Lord of the Rings",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
]
I can get the price of "Moby Dick" using the following JSONPath:
$..[?(#.title=='Moby Dick')].price
RESULT:
'0' => "8.99"
BUT how do I do this in Mule..... what would the json expression look like to get the same result within a mule 3.2 flow?
I don't mind if your answer shows how to do it another way as long as I get the same result within mule.
Can anyone please help me with this??
The way to do that with MEL is to deserialize the JSON payload and use an MVEL filtered projection:
<json:json-to-object-transformer returnClass="java.util.List" />
<expression-transformer
expression="#[($.price in message.payload if $.title == 'Moby Dick')[0]]" />
This expression doesn't take into account cases when Moby Dick isn't present. You didn't mention what to do in that case: I can beef up the expression if you specify the desired behavior when the book's not found.
