Extracting child node from JSON Response
I have Metadata in my response that contains nodes & child nodes.
I am looking at way to extract child node & its value using groovy but not able to find.
Below is the sample metadata response.
I am trying to extract node "Item 1" and its associated value from the response for assertions.
Greatly appreciate any kind of help here !

Script assertion with jsonslurper or jsonpath.
See http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder def holder = new XmlHolder(context.Response) def Metadata = holder["//*:MetaData"] //log.info Metadata import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse log.info parse(Metadata).read('$.[?(@.Type==ItemList)].OptionValues.Item 1[0]')That sounds like a job for JsonSlurper
http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_processing_json
If the name Item 1 and value are not constant how would you identify the expected result for assertions? Is it the first name in OptionValues? This code could help
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder def holder = new XmlHolder(context.Response) def Metadata = holder["//*:MetaData"] //log.info Metadata import groovy.json.JsonSlurper def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(Metadata) def map = json.OptionValues[2] log.info map.entrySet() log.info map.entrySet()[0] log.info map.keySet()[0]
