How to get all parameter Values from RestAPI response in an arrayList using Java/Groovy

My response api like this in ReadyAPI tool- 

{
"response" : [
{
"imageid" : "asdfg1234",
"softwareId" : 282046477,
"accessLevel" : "register",
},
{"imageid" : "asdfg1235",
"softwareId" : 282046478,
"accessLevel" : "not-register",
},
{
"imageid" : "asdfg1236",
"softwareId" : 282046479,
"accessLevel" : "register",
},

}

I want to store all the values in an arrylist like- 

[ "asdfg1234",282046477,"register","asdfg1235"282046478, "not-register","asdfg1236",282046479,"register"]

I tried this code -  but getting null response

 

ArrayList<String> resArrayList = new ArrayList<String>()
for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
def resimageid = context.expand( '${RestAPI#Response#$[\'response\'][i][\'imageid\']}' )
def ressoftwareId = context.expand( '${RestAPI#Response#$[\'response\'][i][\'softwareId\']}' )
def resaccessLevel = context.expand( '${RestAPI#Response#$[\'response\'][i][\'accessLevel\']}' )

resArrayList.add(resimageid)
resArrayList.add(ressoftwareId)
resArrayList.add(resaccessLevel)
}
log.info(resArrayList)

 

Please Help me to get the values.

    So, i don't think that will be any change as mongo will return JSON and in Rest response you will be getting json.

     

    So use JsonSlurper and match node by node.

      My requirement is like that - 

      1) Store RestAPI Response value in an arrayList.

      2) Store DB values in second array List and

      3) Compare both the array should return True.

        I guess that may not be right way to compare. Because you are putting values into a list and don't know the keys for the same.

        Would you please post the sample response of db which needs to be compared?
  • manisha1 : For this best approach would be writing your custom groovy code, that would help you. 

     

    Use JsonSlurper and pick each node value

    Then compare it with DB response using loop for something.
