I had to tidy up your JSON for it to properly be parsed by SoapUI.

 

 

{
   "id": "XYZ",
   "errordetails": null,
   "statuscode": 200,
   "message": null,
   "data":    [
            {
         "key1": 1294,
         "key2":          [
                        {
               "sub-key1": 0,
               "sub-key2": 2360
            },
                        {
               "sub-key3": 0,
               "sub-key4": 2820
            }
         ],
         "key3": true,
         "key4": "3X2"
      },
            {
         "Key1": 1294,
         "key2":          [
                        {
               "sub-key1": 0,
               "sub-key2": 2360
            },
                        {
               "sub-key3": 0,
               "sub-key4": 2820
            }
         ],
         "key3": true,
         "key4": "3X2"
      }
   ]
}

Here's my solution using a script assertion. It's probably a very round-about way of doing it. But it works.

 

def expected = [
 "key1",
 "key2", 
 "key2/sub-key1",
 "key2/sub-key2",
 "key2/sub-key3",
 "key2/sub-key4",
 "key3", 
 "key4"
]

def holder = new com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder(messageExchange.responseContentAsXml)
def exists = { it -> holder["count(//*:data//*:${it.replace("/", "//*:")})"].toString().toInteger() > 0 }
expected.each {key -> assert exists(key) }

Hello team,

 

I was able to look at the sample code suggestion and  i worked on my solution .

However i get the script popup window which gives all the keys but not assertion passed message. How do i work it out into 

this current script

 

// Get API response
def Response = context.expand( '${Validate Testcasename#Response}' )
log.info(Response)
def slurp = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(Response)
//verify the slurper isn't empty

assert !(slurp.isEmpty())

//Capture expected keys to match API reponse keys

def expected =
[
"key1",
"key2",
"key2/sub-key1",
"key2/sub-key2",
"key2/sub-key3",
"key2/sub-key4",
"key3",
"key4"
]
def exists = { it -> slurp["count(//*:data//*:${it.replace("/", "//*:")})"].toString()}
expected.each {key -> assert exists(key) }
