JSON Transformation to required format - json

Question

We are working on a Middleware platform where we are required to respond to consumer with a JSON data in a particular format.
The Data we get from south bound API is a key value pair and this needs to be mapped to an understandable format for the consumer
We tried json-path, ObjectMapper but none of them is giving us the expected result for transforming
Respnse from backend API
{
"details": [
{
"name": "x.y.z.name","value": "TR-54695"
},
{
"name": "a.b.c.standards","value": "DOCSIS"
},
{
"name": "x.x.x.hversion","value": "10"
},
{
"name": "x.x.x.sversion","value": "9.1.116V"
},
{
"name": "x.x.x.uptime","value": "8000"
},
{
"name": "x.x.x.accessallowed","value": "true"
},
]
}
To be transformed to
{
"myData": {
"myInfo": {
"productClass": "TR-54695",
"supportedStandards": "DOCSIS",
"hardwareVersion": "10",
"softwareVersion": "9.1.116V",
"modemMacAddress": "",
"upTime": "8000",
"modemNetworkAccessAllowed": true
}
}
}

Answer 1

Do not like manual work, so here generated demo using 2 functions.
Mind ticking accept button under voting in case you like some answer.
function translate(src, mapping) {
var dst = { "myData": { "myInfo": { "modemMacAddress": "" } } }
//in case order matters:
dst = { "myData": { "myInfo": { "productClass": "", "supportedStandards": "", "hardwareVersion": "", "softwareVersion": "", "modemMacAddress": "", "upTime": "", "modemNetworkAccessAllowed": undefined } } }
var trueFalse = { "false": false, "true": true };
src = src.details;
for (var i = 0; i < src.length; i++) {
dst.myData.myInfo[mapping[src[i].name]] = trueFalse[src[i].value] || src[i].value;
}
return dst;
}
function generateMapping(src, dst) {
src = src.details;
var backLinks = {}, rename2 = {};
for (var i = 0; i < src.length; i++) {
backLinks[src[i].value] = src[i].name;
}
dst = dst.myData.myInfo;
for (var i in dst) {
rename2[backLinks[dst[i]]] = i;
}
return rename2;
}
var src = {
"details": [
{ "name": "x.y.z.name", "value": "TR-54695" },
{ "name": "a.b.c.standards", "value": "DOCSIS" },
{ "name": "x.x.x.hversion", "value": "10" },
{ "name": "x.x.x.sversion", "value": "9.1.116V" },
{ "name": "x.x.x.uptime", "value": "8000" },
{ "name": "x.x.x.accessallowed", "value": "true" },
]
}
var dst = {
"myData": {
"myInfo": {
"productClass": "TR-54695",
"supportedStandards": "DOCSIS",
"hardwareVersion": "10",
"softwareVersion": "9.1.116V",
"modemMacAddress": "",
"upTime": "8000",
"modemNetworkAccessAllowed": true
}
}
}
var mapping = generateMapping(src, dst);
// var mapping = {
// "x.y.z.name": "productClass",
// "a.b.c.standards": "supportedStandards",
// "x.x.x.hversion": "hardwareVersion",
// "x.x.x.sversion": "softwareVersion",
// "undefined": "modemMacAddress",
// "x.x.x.uptime": "upTime",
// "x.x.x.accessallowed": "modemNetworkAccessAllowed"
// }
var result = translate(src, mapping);
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
console.log(JSON.stringify(mapping, null, 2));

You can use below code and use codesandbox link (check console output ) for exact response and this link for key:value pair.
let response = {
details: [
{
name: "x.y.z.name",
value: "TR-54695"
},
{
name: "a.b.c.standards",
value: "DOCSIS"
},
{
name: "x.x.x.hversion",
value: "10"
},
{
name: "x.x.x.sversion",
value: "9.1.116V"
},
{
name: "x.x.x.uptime",
value: "8000"
},
{
name: "x.x.x.accessallowed",
value: "true"
}
]
};
// convert function for key value pair
function convertResponse(responseData) {
let output = { myData: { myInfo: {} } };
let outputRef = output.myData.myInfo;
responseData.forEach(element => {
outputRef[element.name] = element.value
});
return output;
}
// OR convert Function for getting exact same output
function convertResponse(responseData) {
let output = { myData: { myInfo: {} } };
let outputRef = output.myData.myInfo;
responseData.forEach(element => {
if (element.name === "x.y.z.name") {
outputRef.productClass = element.value;
} else if (element.name === "a.b.c.standards") {
outputRef.supportedStandards = element.value;
} else if (element.name === "x.x.x.hversion") {
outputRef.hardwareVersion = element.value;
} else if (element.name === "x.x.x.sversion") {
outputRef.softwareVersion = element.value;
} else if (element.name === "x.x.x.uptime") {
outputRef.upTime = element.value;
} else if (element.name === "x.x.x.accessallowed") {
outputRef.modemNetworkAccessAllowed = element.value;
}
});
return output;
}
//Function Call
console.log(convertResponse(response.details));
