I want to parse the below JSON into POJO. I am using jackson to parse the json.
{
"totalSize": 4,
"done": true,
"records": [
{
"attributes": {
"type": "oppor",
"url": "/service/oppor/456"
},
"AccountId": "123",
"Id": "456",
"ProposalID": "103"
}
]
}
In the above JSON, the fields "totalSize", "done", "records" and "attributes" are known fields. Whereas, "AccountId", "Id" and "ProposalID" are unknown fields. And in the above JSON, I don't need "attributes" to be part of my bean object.
And here is equivalent bean class for my JSON
public class Result {
private int totalSize;
private boolean done;
private List<Map<String, String>> records;
public int getTotalSize() {
return totalSize;
}
public void setTotalSize(int totalSize) {
this.totalSize = totalSize;
}
public boolean isDone() {
return done;
}
public void setDone(boolean done) {
this.done = done;
}
public List<Map<String,String>> getRecords() {
return records;
}
public void setRecords(List<Map<String, String>> records) {
this.records = records;
}
}
Hence there are unknown fields in the records element I just used List to get the results element in bean. Here in this Map, I don't want the field "attributes". How can I ignore this while parsing? And below is the exception that I am getting as attributes is not a string element.

UPDATE 2015/08/29:
As you have commented that
I achieved dynamic field support by parsing the JSON into map. Ignoring bad JSON element is what pending
I suggest that you should process original JSONObject to remove the "attributes"
element from it.
Original JSONObject, for example:
{
"totalSize": 4,
"done": true,
"records": [
{
"attributes": {
"type": "oppor",
"url": "/service/oppor/456"
},
"AccountId": "123",
"Id": "456",
"ProposalID": "103"
}
]
}
After process, new JSONObject will be like the following:
{
"records": {
"AccountId": "123",
"Id": "456",
"ProposalID": "103"
},
"totalSize": 4,
"done": true
}
Use the code as the following:
JSONObject jsonObject;
try {
jsonObject = new JSONObject(jsonString1);
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonObject.get("records").toString());
JSONObject jsonObject1 = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0);
jsonObject1.remove("attributes");
jsonObject.put("records", jsonObject1);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Then, use your own code that achieved dynamic field support by parsing the JSON into map
.
END OF UPDATE 2015/08/29
I suggest that you use Gson
and transient
in this case
Like this
String jsonString1 = "{\n" +
" \"totalSize\": 4,\n" +
" \"done\": true,\n" +
" \"records\": [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"attributes\": {\n" +
" \"type\": \"oppor\",\n" +
" \"url\": \"/service/oppor/456\"\n" +
" },\n" +
" \"AccountId\": \"123\",\n" +
" \"Id\": \"456\",\n" +
" \"ProposalID\": \"103\"\n" +
" }\n" +
" ]\n" +
"}";
Gson gson = new Gson();
Result result1 = gson.fromJson(jsonString1, Result.class);
Your classes, pay attention to transient
:
public class Result {
private int totalSize;
private boolean done;
private List<Record> records;
}
public class Record {
private transient Map<String, String> attributes;
private int AccountId;
private int Id;
private int ProposalID;
}
You will get the result:
P/S: I tested in Android Studio :)
UPDATE:
String jsonString1 = "{\n" +
" \"totalSize\": 4,\n" +
" \"done\": true,\n" +
" \"records\": [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"attributes\": {\n" +
" \"type\": \"oppor\",\n" +
" \"url\": \"/service/oppor/456\"\n" +
" },\n" +
" \"AccountId\": \"123\",\n" +
" \"Id\": \"456\",\n" +
" \"ProposalID\": \"103\"\n" +
" }\n" +
" ]\n" +
"}";
Gson gson = new Gson();
Object object = gson.fromJson(jsonString1, Object.class);
Map<String, String> stringMap = (Map<String, String>) object;
Result myResult = new Result();
Iterator entries = stringMap.entrySet().iterator();
while (entries.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) entries.next();
String key = entry.getKey().toString();
String value = entry.getValue().toString();
switch (key) {
case "totalSize":
myResult.totalSize = (int) Double.parseDouble(entry.getValue().toString());
break;
case "done":
myResult.done = Boolean.valueOf(entry.getValue().toString());
break;
case "records":
try{
Object object1 = entry.getValue();
List<Object> objectList = (List<Object>) object1;
Map<String, Object> stringMap2 = (Map<String, Object>) objectList.get(0);
Map<String, String> recordMap = new HashMap<>();
Iterator entries2 = stringMap2.entrySet().iterator();
while (entries2.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry entry2 = (Map.Entry) entries2.next();
String key2 = entry2.getKey().toString();
String value2 = entry2.getValue().toString();
if (!"attributes".equals(key2)) {
recordMap.put(key2, value2);
}
entries2.remove();
}
myResult.records = recordMap;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
break;
}
entries.remove();
}
Classes:
public class Result {
private int totalSize;
private boolean done;
private Map<String, String> records;
}
