Property transfer using JSON nodes count

[ReshmaSachdev]

How to perform property transfer to keep track on no of nodes returned in JSON response:

eg:

{
     "firstName": "John",
     "lastName" : "doe",
     "age"      : 26,
     "address"  :
     {
         "streetAddress": "naist street",
         "city"         : "Nara",
         "postalCode"   : "630-0192"
     },
     "phoneNumbers":
     [
         {
           "type"  : "iPhone",
           "number": "0123-4567-8888"
         },
         {
           "type"  : "home",
           "number": "0123-4567-8910"
         }
     ]
 }

here for phoneNumbers we have 2 nodes.

Hi ReshmaSachdev,

I suggest that you review the following article: http://readyapi.smartbear.com/structure/steps/property/transfer/example

It contains a great example of how to transfer property values in your project.

Does it help?

I have been using property transfer step using xpath to 'count' no of nodes, but with JSONPath there is no reference given.

@ReshmaSachdev 

Sorry for delay response.

select property transfer as "ResponseAsXml" then Path Language as "XPath"

${#ResponseAsXml#count(//*:number)}

Hope this will Help?

Ashoob.
