What values you need out of it?

Hi ,

 

I should be able to extract any value. For now you can look into href element under collection.

 

Thanks

      Hi Rao,

      Sorry I could not reply earlier.I have looked at your answer and i tried it using groovy but it still says invalid JSON. I was completely lost after and tried various permutations.

       

      After banging my head for a good number of hours, finally I came to know the root cause of this silly issue. The response JSON contains a empty line at the top which SOAP UI is not able to process. Although the JSON view of Response in the Test Step shows a valid JSON but when performing a property transfer, it looks like it is picking up from raw response which has an empty line at the top. My dev team is not going to definitely fix this in a shorter term as the our APIs are used by other applications and no one complained about it.

       

      Is there a way in SOAP UI to get around it?

       

      Thanks,

      Piyu

        I would suggest you to discuss with your development team to findout why the response is invalid as soapUI can't do much to the invalid response sent by your application.
