I am using Flask now. I was trying to get data sent from jquery ajax. I have read the tutorial but still mix up the use of this two function(I am just getting started with ajax). I would like to know what kind of data they process and return.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
As the name suggests, get_json() function parses the data into a JSON object.
get_data() parses into a bytestring.

It took me a while to understand this, being that it was a little obvious. I will answer myself, so other can benefit of the answer and ofcourse to see if there's a better way to do this. The problem was based on Axios/Yii2 but I guess this will apply equally to other frontend libraries/frameworks sending data to Yii2.
I needed to post data from a small form made on Vuejs, sending the request Axios to a Action/Controller on Yii2, so data is sent on a simple POST request and the post is getting to the controller, but I was not able to receive the data on the action, $_POST | $post arrives empty (checked using xdebug).
As much as I remember, this had something to do with security. But I already tried by disabling public $enableCsrfValidation, so that was not the problem.
public $enableCsrfValidation = false;
But no matter what, data was not being added to the request/post data inside Yii2.
The following Image, explains the problem you will find there:
The Axisos method that sends the post with test data.
The Yii2 Action stpoed at the place, I should be able to see data.
The capture of the xdebug variables and data for the request.
The capture of Chrome where you can check the payload is sent.
The answer is as I said "kind of obvious", but I could not see that, and I am sure some other devs will probably fall on this.
After searching like crazy and asking everyone, I tried sending the request by using Postman app, yup the best thing I know to test apis.
Dont forgue to add the xdebug cookie to be able to debug your PHP Endpoint.
There I found the first clue «the obvious part», I was not sending data as a form-data, Axios and other libraries, send the data as a raw (application/json) payload.
This means that Yii2 will no be able to find the data inside the post request, yes its there but Yii2 magic will not work, neither you will find this data inside $GLOBALS or in $_POST.
So reading the Yii2 documentation I found that inside request I can use a function that will help me recovering the Raw data, so to do this use the following line:
$raw_data = Yii::$app->request->getRawBody();
Now, that data gets to you as a simple, raw json string, so use the power of PHP to parse it to an object.
$object= json_decode($raw_data );
And finally use the data inside by calling the properties you look for, sent on the pay load:
Json Payload:
{
"msg":"This is my payload",
"id":"11"
}
To use it:
echo $object->{'msg'}; // prints: This is my payload
So that's the way to handle that, now I would like some other points of view to see if there's a better way or cleaner way to do this. Hope it helps.
I am new to wso2 API Manager, trying to set it up expose my plain HTTP POST back end calls as a REST API. I am sure this is not a new pattern that I am trying to achieve here. The requirement is to convert the JSON data coming in (has array structures) into the HTTP URL query string parameters.
After some research through the documentation and other posts on this forum, decided to go with the script mediator that would parse the JSON data and convert it to a string that can be appended to the endpoint URL. Some how I am not able to achieve this.
I have followed the following post that seems to be very straight forward. As the original poster suggested, I am also not able to use getPayloadJSON() method. Even have trouble using the work around suggested there due to JSON.parse() not working.

Also, this approach of editing the service bus configuration from source view does not sound like the correct option. Is there another elegant solution to achieve this? Thanks for the help in advance.
I was able to get both methods working by using an external script instead of the inline java script. Thanks
I am trying to achieve something like which is mentioned in this link
but i don't know whereto write the parsing code. I tried to write it in new method and added the method in "my adapter.xml" but nothing happens. I even don't know how to log in IBM WorkLight. I used WL.logger(some) but its throwing error that "Logger can not be called on an object".
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.!
In most cases you don't need to manually parse responses because WL adapter framework will do this for you. Anything you retrieve via WL.Server.invokeHttp API will be parsed to JSON automatically unless you specify returnedContentType:"plain". In case you DO need to manually parse JSON you can use JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() APIs.
Server side logging is achieved via WL.Logger.debug/error/info etc. You can get more info about it here
You don't have to parse JSON data, there are libraries in Javascript to do that. Try JSON.parse(). You should learning how to write adapters and invoking them from clients. The Getting Started modules are a good place to start, specifically Module 4 in your case.
I am new to JSP and I am having trouble finding a simple concrete example to make a request to a server that returns a JSON object.
What I am trying to do is something like:
myjson_object = getJSONfrom("my.webserver.com/get/json")
I basically want to add such a line to an existing JSP page so that I can have the JSON object available. I would like to avoid using AJAX or JQuery. I have found several examples like this one, but for some reason they do not work in my case.
Probably trying to do that operation into JSP is not a good idea, since you'd need to use scriptlets and I understand scriptlets are now considered not a good practice (see this)... You'd better do it into a servlet (see this)...
Anyway the code would be similar. You first need to make the request and then parse the JSON response...
In order to make the request you can use HttpURLConnection class. See this question.
Once you have the server response into a BufferedReader, you can parse the JSON using some library, such as Gson. You can find lots of examples of JSON deserializing using Gson in SO, like this or this.
I've been using Google Tools (library, templating) for almost a year... and I came to the point where a I have to connect the backend with all the templates i've been working on. The backend receives the data in JSON format.
Here's my problem. I want to submit a JSON that represents my object model in the backend and I know closure library offers this...
var json = goog.json.serialize(goog.dom.forms.getFormDataMap(form).toObject());
Problem is that the method getFormDataMap returns a goog.structs.Map which works like a hashMap... It means that all values of the form submitted are nested into arrays.
I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this. I know that there is some library that does the trick like this one (https://github.com/maxatwork/form2js) but I can't believe that closure doesn't have anything to deal with this problem.
Thanks a lot !
why not access the data yourself and build the data structure you require, it is not like this will be a bottleneck of any sorts.
