How to read Map values from foreach in scala - json

Question

// Reads Json file
val input_file = ("\\path\\to\\MyNew.json");
val json_content = scala.io.Source.fromFile(input_file).mkString
// parsing the json file
val details = JSON.parseFull(json_content)
// checking the matched result
details match {
case mayBeList: Some[Map[String, Any]] =>
val z = mayBeList.get.tails.toSet.flatten
z.foreach(println)
case None => println("Parsing failed")
case other => println("Unknown data structure: " + other)
}
getting following Output:
Map(Name -> Harish, Company -> In Equity, Sal -> 50000)
Map(Name -> Veer, Company -> InOut, Sal -> 20000)
Map(Name -> Zara, Company -> InWhich, Sal -> 90000)
Map(Name -> Singh, Company -> InWay, Sal -> 30000)
Map(Name -> Chandra, Company -> InSome, Sal -> 60000)
Expected Output
Harish, In Quality, 50000- (only values of Map)

Answer 1

Use .values for the values and .keys for the keys.
val m: Map[String, Int] = Map("a" -> 1, "b" -> 2)
m.values // res0: Iterable[Int] = MapLike(1, 2)
m.keys // res1: Iterable[String] = Set(a, b)

Answer 2

All you need is to iterate though the elements of your list i.e. z and extract values from each map like this,
List(Map("Name" -> "Harish", "Company" -> "In Equity", "Sal" -> 50000),
Map("Name" -> "Veer", "Company" -> "InOut", "Sal" -> 20000),
Map("Name" -> "Zara", "Company" -> "InWhich", "Sal" -> 90000),
Map("Name" -> "Singh", "Company" -> "InWay", "Sal" -> 30000),
Map("Name" -> "Chandra", "Company" -> "InSome", "Sal" -> 60000)
)
.map(_.values.toList).foreach(println)
//List[List[Any]] = List(List(Harish, In Equity, 50000), List(Veer, InOut, 20000), List(Zara, InWhich, 90000), List(Singh, InWay, 30000), List(Chandra, InSome, 60000))
Hope this helps you.
Update
In response to your comment, use this code
import scala.util.parsing.json._
val input_file = ("C:\\Users\\VishalK\\IdeaProjects\\ScalaCassan\\src\\main\\scala\\MyNew.json");
val json_content = scala.io.Source.fromFile(input_file)
// parsing the json file
val details: Option[Any] = JSON.parseFull(json_content.mkString)
details match {
case mayBeList: Some[Any] =>
mayBeList.getOrElse(Seq.empty[Map[String, Any]]).asInstanceOf[List[Map[String, Any]]].map(_.values.toList).toSet
case None => println("Parsing failed")
}
in your match block :
In first case I don't get why you are using .tails.toSet.flatten on Any data type.
You can remove the third case as Some and None are the only possible outcomes of Option data-type.

scala> val l = List(Map("Name" -> "Harish", "Company" -> "In Equity", "Sal" -> 50000),
| Map("Name" -> "Veer", "Company" -> "InOut", "Sal" -> 20000),
| Map("Name" -> "Zara", "Company" -> "InWhich", "Sal" -> 90000),
| Map("Name" -> "Singh", "Company" -> "InWay", "Sal" -> 30000),
| Map("Name" -> "Chandra", "Company" -> "InSome", "Sal" -> 60000)
| )
l: List[scala.collection.immutable.Map[String,Any]] = List(Map(Name -> Harish, Company -> In Equity, Sal -> 50000), Map(Name -> Veer, Company -> InOut, Sal -> 20000), Map(Name -> Zara, Company -> InWhich, Sal -> 90000), Map(Name -> Singh, Company -> InWay, Sal -> 30000), Map(Name -> Chandra, Company -> InSome, Sal -> 60000))
scala> l.map(_.values).foreach(x => println(x.toList.mkString(", ")))
Harish, In Equity, 50000
Veer, InOut, 20000
Zara, InWhich, 90000
Singh, InWay, 30000
Chandra, InSome, 60000
