parse value from JSON object with dynamic key in VBScript - json

Actually I want to get value from a JSON with Dynamic key in VBScript. I try to find similar question if any body asked already but nothing find for VBScript.
So below is a sample json:
{
"assessmenttype": [{
"id": "129666",
"formattedvalue": "wT",
"value": "WT"
}],
"jobid": "2017-2752",
"jobtitle": "XYZ",
"links": [{
"rel": "self",
"title": "The current profile being viewed.",
"url": "https://dummyUrl.com/customers"
}],
"field33005": {
"id": "C121",
"formattedvalue": "XYZ",
"value": "XYZ"
}
}
So in above JSON(which is client specific), as for one client node name is field33005 but for any other client this field name might be field38045 and so on.. so the challenge is to get the value of "value" sub field in this field33005 custom field.
please help me as I am not professional in JSON Parsing with VBScript.
Note: For json parsing I am using json2-min.js library

To answer my own question I make one function in JavaScript as we can call a js function from VBSript in ASP.
<script runat="server" language="javascript">
function getJSONObject(targetJSONObject, propName)
{
for (var prop in targetJSONObject)
{
if (prop = propName)
{
return targetJSONObject[prop].value;
}
}
return "";
}
</script>
In the above method we need to pass the actual Json and name of custom field then it will return the "value" sub node of that custom field.

How to remove one property from json input message using replace() expression in azure logic app?

{
"metadata": {
"id": "2",
"uri": "3",
"type": "2"
},
"Number": "2323600002913",
"Date": "04/21/2009",
"postingDate": "00/00/0000",
"ata": {
"results": [
{
"metadata": {
"id": "r",
"uri": "e2",
"type": "s2"
},
"item": "000010",
"data":"ad"
}
]
}
}
want to remove metadata property from above json message and output should be like below
{
"Number": "2323600002913",
"Date": "04/21/2009",
"postingDate": "00/00/0000",
"ata": {
"results": [
{
"item": "000010",
"data":"ad"
}
]
}
}
I tried with removeProperty() which is working for root level metadata but inside metadata not removed.
how to use replace() in this case or anything else to only remove metadata.
The simplest way is use inline code, cause even with removeProperty() expression to remove the metadata under results, it will return the results array data not the whole json data. Then you will have to combine them, it's not a convenient way.
And with inline code you could refer to my below picture. The variable json is the value from triggerbody, then just delete the node or key and return the json variable. And with this way, even you want to delete many metadata in the array, you could add a for loop to delete it, just think of it as plain js code.
Update:if you want to get value from variable,cause no support expression to get value from variable so use the below expression.
var json =wworkflowContext.actions.Initialize_variable.inputs.variables[0].value;
And about how to loop the array in the json refer to my below pic.

Issue with JSON Schema object validation (How does it work internally)?

BACKGROUND:
I have mockedup my issue here for reference:
https://jsonschemalint.com/#/version/draft-06/markup/json?gist=4c185903d7aeb13f6977852a09cf5462
and I am using this npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonschema
CODE
//i read in JSON specified in files (the contents of which are below) and parse them into JSON objects. This process works fine.
var jsonDef = JSON.parse(schemaFile); //i store this jsonDef in my database as an object
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(objFile);
var jsonv = new JSONValidator();
var validateResult = jsonv.validate(jsonObj, jsonDef); //jsonDef is read from my database
//validateResult.valid is true
PROBLEM:
I have a general schema + metadata definition like so ("props" contains the actual object schema I want to validate)
schemaFile:
{
"name":"schoolDemo",
"displayName":"School Demo",
"propertiesKey":"assetId",
"props":{
"assetId": {
"type": "string"
},
"grade": {
"type": "number"
}
}
}
objFile:
{
"assetId": "75255972",
"grade": "A"
}
However, when I try to validate against the following user-input object, it succeeds. Shouldn't it fail because:
(1) there is no "properties" element in the initial metadata+schema definition? This field seems to be required based on the examples shown here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonschema
(2) the type for grade is not a number
What am I doing wrong?
The validation is passing because the schema is not well formed ("properties" is missing).
Try this instead and then the validation will fail:
{
"name": "schoolDemo",
"displayName": "School Demo",
"propertiesKey": "assetId",
"properties": {
"assetId": {
"type": "string"
},
"grade": {
"type": "number"
}
}
}

How to preserve Json Object Order in Robot Framework

I am working with an API that requires the json key value pairs to be ordered when creating resources. The API provides a method (called new) that allows you to make a GET request that will return an object model. I would like to update the model with values within my RobotFramework test cases. Is there a native way within Robot Framework to make a GET request and preserve the json object order sent by the server? Here's an example of the JSON response to the GET new method:
{
"account": {
"#id": "",
"#uri": "",
"#oldID": "",
"person": {
"#id": "",
"#uri": ""
},
"accountType": {
"#id": "",
"#uri": "",
"name": null
},
"accountName": "",
"createdDate": null,
"createdByPerson": {
"#id": "",
"#uri": ""
},
"lastUpdatedDate": null,
"lastUpdatedByPerson": {
"#id": "",
"#uri": ""
}
}
}
If I use the following, the key values automatically get sorted:
${r}= GET Request MySession /accounts/new
For anyone else who needs ordered JSON in robot framework, I was able to achieve it with the following (thanks to help in the comments):
&{object}= Evaluate json.loads('''${r.text}''', object_pairs_hook=collections.OrderedDict) modules=json, collections
Though, ultimately this kind of logic is probably best suited in a custom helper library.

dynamic json for datatables

I've been working with datatables and I'm able to load the datatable using getJson with strongly typed classes etc and it works just great. Until I hit one snag.
There are times I want to populate a datatable with data that "I don't know about" but I always know that it will be one row of data - it is simply a json string with dynamic content.
Now with datatables you can simply populate the table with aaData and aaCol by assigning a json string to it but my json string contains a column and data IE:
First_name:bob and so on.
A column - on Datatables would be populated with sTitle:Column1 etc and assigned to aaCol.
Does anyone know of a plug in that parses a json string into aaCol and aaData for use with datatables?
I believe you can solve your problem using this approach:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": "scripts/objects.php",
"columns": [
{ "data": "first_name" },
{ "data": "last_name" },
{ "data": "position" },
{ "data": "office" },
{ "data": "start_date" },
{ "data": "salary" }
]
} );
} );
In the example above the dataTables uses a serverSide processing, the ajax return a object like this:
{
"draw": 1,
"recordsTotal": 57,
"recordsFiltered": 57,
"data": [
{
"first_name": "Airi",
"last_name": "Satou",
"position": "Accountant",
"office": "Tokyo",
"start_date": "28th Nov 08",
"salary": "$162,700"
}, ...
You can also set the column name using the "name" property inside the specification of each column.
You can the full example in the following link. If you need more assistance I can make a code on my own later today =)
You can check this JsFiddle to understand how to set the columns names

Obtain a different JSON object structure in AngularJS

I'm Working on AngularJS.
In this part of the project my goal is to obtain a JSON structure after filling a form with some particulars values.
Here's the fiddle of my simple form: Fiddle
With the form I will do a query to KairosDB, that is my NoSql Database, I will query data from it by a JSON object. The form is structured in this way:
a Name
a certain Number of Tags, with Tag Id ("ch" for example) and tag value ("932" for example)
a certain Number of Aggregators to manipulate data coming from DB
Start Timestamp and End Timestamp (now they are static and only included in the final JSON Object)
After filling this form, with my code I'll obtain for example this JSON object:
{
"metrics": [
{
"tags": [
{
"id": "ch",
"value": "932"
},
{
"id": "ch",
"value": "931"
}
],
"aggregators": {
"name": "sum",
"sampling": [
{
"value": "1",
"unit": "milliseconds",
"type": "SUM"
}
]
}
}
],
"cache_time": 0,
"start_absolute": 123,
"end_absolute": 1234
}
Unfortunately, KairosDB accepts a different structure, and as you could see, Tag id "ch" doesn't hase an "id" string before, or for example, Tag values coming from the same tag id are grouped together
{
"metrics": [
{
"tags": {
"ch": [
"932",
"931"
]
},
"name": "AIENR",
"aggregators": [
{
"name": "sum",
"sampling": {
"value": "1",
"unit": "milliseconds"
}
}
]
}
],
"cache_time": 0,
"start_absolute": 1367359200000,
"end_absolute": 1386025200000
}
My question is: Is there a way to obtain the JSON structure like the one accepted by Kairos DB with an Angular JS form?. Thanks to everyone.
I've seen this topic as the one more similar to mine but it isn't in AngularJS.
Personally, I'd do the refactoring work in the backend - Have what ever server interfaces sends and receives data do the manipulation - Otherwise you'll end up needing to refactor your data inside Angular anywhere you want to use that dataset.
Where as doing it in the backend would put it in a single access point.
Of course, you could do it in Angular, just replace userString in the submitData method with a copy of the array and replace the tags section with data in the new format, and likewise refactor the returned result to the correct format when you get a reply.
