I have an array of JSON objects. To parse these arrays and store the simply data type values, I have to make assumptions of the key names and store them accordingly.
I also know that sometimes the key's values will be null. example {["promotion":null]}
how would I parse this?
If I try to access a key whose value is null, I get a JSONException. Now this makes sense, but even if I do if(myJSObject.getString("promotion")!=null)
then I will still get JSON exception when it checks
how would I do a conditional check in my code for null objects so that I can avoid the JSON exception
Return valueJsonObject::isNull() returns a bool that tells if the JsonObject points to something: true if the JsonObject is null, false if the JsonObject is valid and points to an object.
Whenever you're working with JSON payloads in power automate, there's always a possibility of receiving null values inside JSON, where Parse JSON Action will be errored out because of these null values. To handle this we have to modify the schema of the generated schema for the provided JSON.
How do you handle null values in JSON objects in Java? You can ignore null fields at the class level by using @JsonInclude(Include. NON_NULL) to only include non-null fields, thus excluding any attribute whose value is null.
Null valuesJSON has a special value called null which can be set on any type of data including arrays, objects, number and boolean types.
Use JSONObject.optString(String key)
or optString(String key, String default)
.
Edit: ... or isNull(String key)
, of course :)
