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've started using Apache Nifi and I'm still learning it and experimenting with it. I really want to use Nifi to get JSON documents from API's and put them in my Elasticsearch database. So far using the built-in getTwitter and putElasticsearch controllers this works.
However now I want to do this with other APIs than Twitter, and I'm kinda stuck here. First off I really don't even know which controller to use? I would think getHttp or invokeHttp even with 'GET' as http verb then but it doesn't seem to work. If I use the getHttp I have to give an SSL service with keystore and truststore .. like why would I have to do that?
Apache Nifi is still quite new so hard to find decent guides / information about these kinds of things. I have read and searched the documentation but haven't gotten the wiser.
An example JSON to pick up from an API is:
https://api.ssllabs.com/api/v2/getEndpointData?host=www.bnpparibasfortis.be&s=193.58.4.82
Thanks in advance for anyone that can offer some help / insight.
What processor you use to get the JSON data is entirely dependent on the API you want to hit. The GetHttp or InvokeHttp processors should work to grab the data from a URL. If you'll notice, the SSL service is an optional property for both GetHttp and InvokeHttp so you only need to you use it when you want to communicate via HTTPS. Also, from the UI you can right click on a processor and then click "usage" to bring up the documentation for that processor.
At this link[1] you can find a NiFi template that uses GetHttp to get JSON data from randomuser.me and does various processing on it. It's primarily a template to show-case the different Avro processors but the method of grabbing the JSON should be relevant.

So there is a nice library for VB6 JSON parsing. HERE
but i actually used one that built on the original and optimized. HERE
Essentially I'm using the parser to deserialize the json i get from a web service. I need to update some values, and resend to the server. Using the Collection/Dictionary objects made it very easy. But now, How do i take those objects and serialize them to a JSON string? is there a library for that?
thanks you for your help.
There are quite a few JSON parser/serializer/DOM classes written in VB6. Perhaps you might want to consider one of those instead. E.g.:
JsonBag, Another JSON Parser/Generator
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 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 would like to ask if someone know how to grab a facebook event json message. It doesnt matter if it has to happen programatically. I just want to be able to read the message one way or another.
thanks in advance.
P.s. Maybe an awful question but here you go !!!
I once had to code a small chunk of code to parse a json-encapsulated message. However recently I found out there's a handy solution for it if you use Java
Resty is a small, convenient library
to talk to RESTful services from Java.
It’s surprisingly complex to do the
simplest HTTP calls with the standard
Java library. Resty hopes to change
that.
http://beders.github.com/Resty/Resty/Overview.html
Resty r = new Resty();
Object name = r.json("http://ws.geonames.org
/postalCodeLookupJSON?postalcode=66780&country=DE")
.get("postalcodes[0].placeName");
Just import a small jar lib and you'll be surprised. I currently use this class for getting info from url API.
