Groovy- count all nulls in an array

I want to print  how many nulls, 1's and 2's seperately.

Json : {"prods": [{"Item":13,"rate":200, "Ids": []}, {"Item":13,"rate":200, "Ids": []}, 
{"Item":11,"rate": 100, "Ids": [ {"level": 1}]}, 
{"Item":13,"rate":200, "Ids": [ {"level": 1}]},
{"Item":12,"rate":200, "Ids": [ {"level": 2} ], [{"level": 2}, {"level": 2}]} ]}.

 

I tried and couldnt get the counts seperately.def jsonids = json.Ids
log.info jsonids
[[], [], [1], [1], [2, 2, 2]]

I want the results like below:

Level []: 2, Level 1: 2,  Level 2: 3

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

Nulls: 2

    Hi SK07,

     

    I believe you should can get solution from scripts which I replied to you in your previous topic, right?

     

    firstly, you should parse json string as a json object, right? you should do this at first step.

    secondly, retrieve 'Ids' and get content. (if "Ids" 's value is always like []. if not, you can add a 'if' condition to determine, like: if(a instanceof ArrayList),    a means Ids' value)

    thirdly, you also get all values of Ids, so you can count the numer of them.

     

    If any enquires, please post your questions here

      Hi Aaron, This is something different from previous with inner loops.

      Json : {"prods": [{"Item":13,"rate":200, "Ids": []},
                                {"Item":14,"rate":300, "Ids": []},
                                {"Item":15,"rate":100, "Ids": [ {"level": 1}]},
                                {"Item":16,"rate":700, "Ids": [ {"level": 1}]},
                                {"Item":17,"rate":500, "Ids": [ {"level": 2} ], [{"level": 2}, {"level": 2}]} ]}.

      So, I retrieve the Ids as below:

      def jsonids = json.Ids
      log.info jsonids
      [[], [], [1], [1], [2, 2, 2]]

      But I dont how to read/count the above and get the results like below:

      Ids [] =: 2, Level 1 =  2, Level 2 = 3

        Hi SK07,

         

        Dont think of it to be complex. If you only wanna count the number of "[]", try

        // your list aa=[[], [], [1,1],[2,2,2]]
def num = 0
for(item in aa){
    if(item.size() < 1) num++
}
log.info "[Ids []: $num]"
