How to Read a JSON File with an Array in Java: Handling Result and HD Properties

In the world of microservices, working with JSON data structures is a common task. Often, we are faced with challenges when the structure of our JSON files changes, necessitating modifications in our code. Recently, a developer encountered an issue trying to read a JSON file that now includes an array nested within result and HD fields. This guide will demonstrate how to update your Java code to handle this new structure effectively.

The Initial Problem

The developer's initial setup was working perfectly with a simpler JSON structure, which did not involve any nested objects or arrays. However, the new requirement to incorporate the result and HD properties in the JSON response changes how they need to parse the data.

Here’s a glimpse of the new JSON structure they are dealing with:

To achieve the goal of reading this JSON and storing it in a PostgreSQL database, the Java code must be modified accordingly.

Modifying the Code

To adapt the Java code for the new JSON format, we will need to redefine our domain model and adjust how we deserialize the JSON. Below are the steps for making necessary modifications.

1. Update the Domain Objects

Instead of having a flat structure, we need to model the nested JSON structure. Here’s how you can accomplish this with new classes:

Create a New Class Structure

2. Deserialize the Updated JSON Structure

Once your domain model is set, the next step is to update your deserialization logic to parse the new structure. Here’s how to do that:

Explanation of the Changes

Domain Classes: We've introduced two new classes, Foo and Result, to represent the hierarchical structure of the JSON. The Foo class holds a Result object that in turn contains a list of Response objects.

Deserialization: We have updated the ObjectMapper part of the code to read the new structure. The Foo class is passed as a type reference, allowing us to extract the Result and HD list efficiently.

Conclusion

By following the outlined steps above, you can smoothly transition your code to accommodate the new JSON structure with nested properties. Successfully adapting to these changes is essential for developing robust microservices that can handle various data formats and structures. With just a few modifications, you can ensure that your application remains functional and efficient.
