Json

Purpose¶

Since 6.10.7

Provides methods for manipulating JSON.

Methods¶

Binding name: p6.json

toString¶

Convert the JSON to a stringify and pretty print version (Converted using JsonOutput toJson and prettyPrint)

Syntax

<T extends Serializable> String p6.json.toString(Map<String, T> json)

With pretty print:

<T extends Serializable> String p6.json.toString(Map<String, T> json, boolean prettyPrint)

Example

final def json = [names: ['fee', 'foo', 'bar'], values: [1, 2]]
p6.log.info(p6.json.toString json)

With pretty print:

final def json = [names: ['fee', 'foo', 'bar'], values: [1, 2]]
p6.log.info(p6.json.toString json, true)

fromString¶

Convert the string to a JSON (Converted using JsonSlurper.parseText)

Syntax

Object p6.json.fromString(String json)

Example

p6.log.info(p6.json.fromString '{"names": ["fee", "foo", "bar"], "values": [1, 2]}')

toXml¶

Convert a json string into xml. (identical to fromJson in xml dsl)

If no root node is in the json, a node named ‘root’ will be added.

Syntax

Object p6.json.toXml(String json)

Example

final def json = """
       {
       "node1": "xyz",
       "node2": "abc"
       }
       """

final def xml = p6.json.toXml json
final def validXml = new XmlSlurper().parseText '<root><node1>xyz</node1><node2>abc</node2></root>'
assert xml == validXml

fromXml¶

Convert xml string to json. (identical to toJson in xml dsl)

Syntax

Object p6.json.fromXml(String xml)

Example

final def xml = '<root><node1>xyz</node1><node2>abc</node2></root>'

final def json = p6.json.fromXml xml 
final def validJson = [node1: 'xyz', node2: 'abc']
assert json == validJson
