So my issue is this.
Using backbone to save something in a MYSQL Database.
When I call this.model.save() I am getting a very weird issue.
The model will save the JSON response as an object and will not update the new values instead.
So my attributes in development tools will look something like this.
attributes: Object
0: Object
ID: "4"
Name: "TEST"
Title: "MEOW"
Stuff: "1"
When: "2013-02-14 22:17:14"
The 0 should not be there. I did confirm that the json object is valid so I know that is not the issue here.
It looks like your JSON response is actually an array with a single element, not an object.
The property 0 is created when Backbone calls model.set(response), which in turn copies all keys of the response object to the attributes hash. If an array is passed to set, this is what happens.
You should fix your server to respond with a raw object ({...}) instead of an array ([{...}]). If you're not able to change the server behaviour, you can override Model.parse to unwrap the response on the client:
var Model = Backbone.Model.extend({
parse: function(response) {
return _.isArray(response) ? response[0] : response;
}
});

I need to pass a json string as a value to one parameter of a POST request body. My request body looks like this:
"parameter1":"abc",
"parameter2":"def",
"parameter3": "{\"id\":\"\",\"key1\":\"test123\",\"prod1\":{\"id\":\"\",\"key3\":\"test123\",\"key4\":\"12334\",\"key5\":\"3\",\"key6\":\"234334\"},\"prod2\":{\"id\":\"\",\"key7\":\"test234\",\"key8\":1,\"key9\":true}}\"",
"parameter4":false,
"parameter5":"ghi"
}
For parameter3 I need to be pass a string value in json format. The json file is located in my local system and is a huge file, so it would make sense if I can pass it as a jmeter variable. I tried as below:
{
"parameter1":"abc",
"parameter2":"def",
"parameter3": "${jsonObj}",
"parameter4":false,
"parameter5":"ghi"
}
after adding a JSR223 preprocessor with the code below:
import org.apache.jmeter.util.JMeterUtils;
String fileContents = new File("path to json//myJson.json").getText('UTF-8');
vars.put("fileContents",fileContents);
var deltaJson = vars.get("fileContents");
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(deltaJson);
vars.put("jsonObj", JSON.stringify(jsonObj));
But I get below error:
exceptions":{"exceptionType":"System.JSONException","exceptionMessage":"Unexpected character ('$' (code 36)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null') at input location [1,2]"}
Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?
There is an easier way of doing this, JMeter comes with __FileToString() function so you can achieve the same much faster and without having to do any scripting
Something like:
{
"parameter1": "abc",
"parameter2": "def",
"parameter3": ${__FileToString(path to json//myJson.json,UTF-8,jsonObj)},
"parameter4": false,
"parameter5": "ghi"
}
Also be aware of the following facts:
the recommended language for using in JSR223 Test Elements is Groovy as it provides the maximum performance
you seem to be using JSON object which cannot be used outside of the browser context therefore your code fails to generate proper JSON hence your request fails as you're passing ${jsonObj} as it is, the substitution doesn't happen, you can look to jmeter.log file yourself and see the exact reason of your script failure
I receive a JSON object that looks like this:
this data is being passed through a Socketio emit, so the angular HttpClient is not intercepting it.
{
"single":[
{
"name":"Xavi555",
"data":[
{
"_id":"5e2ea609f8c83e5435ebb6e5",
"id":"test1",
"author":"someone",
"recipient":"someone",
"content":"test",
"msgId":"Testid",
"gNamespace":""
}
]
}
],
"group":[]
}
however when I use JSON.parse() on the object above The key data does not contain the value of data that is to say:
private func(jsonObj: string): void {
console.log(jsonObj);
}
I see:
single: Array(1)
groups: Array(0)
single Array(1)
name: test
data: Array(0)
I thought it was an issue with deep cloning, but, when trying to do JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(jsonObj)) it returns the original json string object.
related but no solution posted
actual code:
private handleStoredMessages(dirtyObj: string): void {
// debugger;
const cleanObj = JSON.parse(dirtyObj);
const { single, group } = cleanObj;
console.log('raw json', dirtyObj);
onsole.log('clean json', cleanObj);
}
any ideas?
If you are using angular, then I doubt you should be using JSON.parse. This is handled by the HttpClient. Nevertheless, your assumption about your data structure is wrong. The single is an array of objects, not an object itself:
So to access the .data you need to do jsonObj.single[0].data. Which in itself is an array again
The only other reason this could happen, is because you modify the object/array somewhere else in your code, before you actually press the triangle in console to open the object. Hover on the blue information icon to see why.
Value below was evaluated just now
The object is lazily evaluated, meaning that if you did any transformations to the object, it will show that state, not the state at the moment you logged the object.
The issue of this was that the back end guy double encoded and did some weird stuff not my fault
If I log the full data from an Angular client I get
object { type: "message", target: {_}, errorCode: undefiend,
errorMessage: undefined, data: "{\"data\":[\"124",\"611\"]}",
lastEventId: ""}
I want to grab the {\"data\":[\"124",\"611\"]} part to send it as json to a client. Using JSON.parse(data.data) though gives me
data: "{\"data\":[\"124",\"611\"]}", lastEventId: ""}
Is it possible to just grab the "{\"data\":[\"124",\"611\"]}" since otherwise the client has problems with the deserialization.
Let's say you have your initial string in myobject_string.
Then, you extract the JSON to a Javascript object with: const myobject = JSON.parse(myobject_string).
Then, the data you are looking for is in myobject.data.
Look here for more example code on JSON.parse.
var tree = webix.ui({
view: "tree",
url: "my_python_func()"
});
I am using this and my data is coming from a python file (i mean url:"my_python_func()").
The python func is returning an array of JSON. When I use that in the tree, it shows the value as undefined. Can someone help me how to fix this?
you can get json array using ajax, and assign it to js object. And instead of writing
url: "my_python_func()", you can just type data: jsobject
I'm trying to build a restful API and I'm struggling on how to serialize JSON data to a HTTP query string.
There are a number of mandatory and optional arguments that need to be passed in the request, e.g (represented as a JSON object below):
{
"-columns" : [
"name",
"column"
],
"-where" : {
"-or" : {
"customer_id" : 1,
"services" : "schedule"
}
},
"-limit" : 5,
"return" : "table"
}
I need to support a various number of different clients so I'm looking for a standardized way to convert this json object to a query string. Is there one, and how does it look?
Another alternative is to allow users to just pass along the json object in a message body, but I read that I should avoid it (HTTP GET with request body).
Any thoughts?
Edit for clarification:
Listing how some different languages encodes the given json object above:
jQuery using $.param: -columns[]=name&-columns[]=column&-where[-or][customer_id]=1&-where[-or][services]=schedule&-limit=5&return=column
PHP using http_build_query: -columns[0]=name&-columns[1]=column&-where[-or][customer_id]=1&-where[-or][services]=schedule&-limit=5&return=column
Perl using URI::query_form: -columns=name&-columns=column&-where=HASH(0x59d6eb8)&-limit=5&return=column
Perl using complex_to_query: -columns:0=name&-columns:1=column&-limit=5&-where.-or.customer_id=1&-where.-or.services=schedule&return=column
jQuery and PHP is very similar. Perl using complex_to_query is also pretty similar to them. But none look exactly the same.
URL-encode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding) your JSON text and put it into a single query string parameter. for example, if you want to pass {"val": 1}:
mysite.com/path?json=%7B%22val%22%3A%201%7D
Note that if your JSON gets too long then you will run into a URL length limitation problem. In which case I would use POST with a body (yes, I know, sending a POST when you want to fetch something is not "pure" and does not fit well into the REST paradigm, but neither is your domain specific JSON-based query language).
There is no single standard for JSON to query string serialization, so I made a comparison of some JSON serializers and the results are as follows:
JSON: {"_id":"5973782bdb9a930533b05cb2","isActive":true,"balance":"$1,446.35","age":32,"name":"Logan Keller","email":"logankeller#artiq.com","phone":"+1 (952) 533-2258","friends":[{"id":0,"name":"Colon Salazar"},{"id":1,"name":"French Mcneil"},{"id":2,"name":"Carol Martin"}],"favoriteFruit":"banana"}

The shortest among them is URL Object Notation.
How about you try this sending them as follows:
http://example.com/api/wtf?
[-columns][]=name&
[-columns][]=column&
[-where][-or][customer_id]=1&
[-where][-or][services]=schedule&
[-limit]=5&
[return]=table&
I tried with a REST Client
And on the server side (Ruby with Sinatra) I checked the params, it gives me exactly what you want. :-)
Another option might be node-querystring. It also uses a similar scheme to the ones you've so far listed.
It's available in both npm and bower, which is why I have been using it.
Works well for nested objects.
Passing complex objects as query parameters of a url.
In the example below, obj is the JSON object to pass into query parameters.
Injecting JSON object as query parameters:
value = JSON.stringify(obj);
URLSearchParams to convert a string to an object representing search params. toString to retain string type for appending to url:
queryParams = new URLSearchParams(value).toString();
Pass the query parameters using template literals:
url = `https://some-url.com?key=${queryParams}`;
Now url will contain the JSON object as query parameters under key (user-defined name)
Extracing JSON from url:
This is assuming you have access to the url (either as string or URL object)
url_obj = new URL(url); (only if url is NOT a URL object, otherwise ignore this step)
Extract all query parameters in the url:
queryParams = new URLSearchParams(url_obj.search);
Use the key to extract the specific value:
obj = JSON.parse(queryParams.get('key').slice(0, -1));
slice() is used to extract a tailing = in the query params which is not required.
Here obj will be the same object passed in the query params.
I recommend to try these steps in the web console to understand better.
