XPRIM_RandomAccessJsonReader and ReadStringWithName

[jan]

Hi. I have been trying to use XPRIM_RandomAccessJsonReader to read through the JSON object coming from an HttpResponse below:

Code: Select all

{
    "operation": {
        "result": {
            "message": "Request details added successfully.",
            "status": "Success"
        }
     }
}

According to the documentation, it seemed like the RandomAccessJSONReader would have allowed me to read through objects without having to go through from the Root Path. So what I did was this below:

Code: Select all

Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_RandomAccessJsonReader) Name(#JsonRandomAccessReader) 
Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_ErrorInfo) Name(#JsonErrorInfo)

#JsonRandomAccessReader.SetSourceHttpResponse Httpresponse(#HttpRequest.Response) Errorinfo(#JsonErrorInfo)

#JsonRandomAccessReader.BeginObjectWithName( "result" )

#oErrorCode := #JsonRandomAccessReader.ReadStringWithName( "status" "" #STD_TEXT ).AsNativeString

#JsonRandomAccessReader.EndObject

The BeginObjectWithName seems to work and says that there is one child under "result". However the ReadStringWithName part always ends with a not found status.

I was able to make this work by using #JsonRandomAccessReader.ReadStringWIthPath( 'operation/result/status' '' #STD_TEXT ).asNativeString instead but would like to understand why the ReadStringWIthName code did not work.

Thank you in advance for any information.

Since the result property is under the operation object, I would imagine you would need to start from operation, followed by result?

Code: Select all

#JsonRandomAccessReader.BeginObjectWithName( "operation" )
#JsonRandomAccessReader.BeginObjectWithName( "result" )

Or you can also do:

Code: Select all

#JsonRandomAccessReader.BeginObjectWithPath( "operation/result" )

@tsupartono thanks for the response. That is what I did eventually and it did work.

However, I thought there was a way for the reader to read specific strings without having to specify the paths or objects.

Were you ever able to figure out how the _RandomAccessJsonReader works without having to specify the paths or objects?
I have a similar case where it sure would be easier to just state the name for the value you want.
