I am getting json body from rest response with escaped cahrs as shown below. How to format josn response in soapUI using groovy script?
{
"employee": "{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"city\":\"New York\"}"
}
Expected Output:
{
"employee":
{
"name": "John",
"age": 30,
"city": "New York"
}
}
Use JsonSlurper and JsonOutput:
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
String response = $/ {
"employee": "{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"city\":\"New York\"}"
}/$
def parsedResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)
String formattedResponse = parsedResponse
.with (JsonOutput.&toJson >> JsonOutput.&prettyPrint)
However, if that's really the response you're getting, it looks like the API has a problem, because it's sending the employee as a string instead of an object.
assert parsedResponse.'employee' instanceof String
assert parsedResponse.'employee' == '{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"city\":\"New York\"}
If that is really how the API works, you could do this:
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
String response = $/ {
"employee": "{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"city\":\"New York\"}"
}/$
def parsedResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)
parsedResponse.'employee' = new JsonSlurper().parseText(parsedResponse.'employee')
String formattedResponse = parsedResponse
.with (JsonOutput.&toJson >> JsonOutput.&prettyPrint)
