How to Extract _id Values from JSON Responses in Java Using REST Assured

When working with APIs, retrieving data in JSON format is a common task. However, parsing JSON responses to obtain required values can sometimes be a bit tricky, especially for those new to programming. In this guide, we will discuss how to extract the _id value from a JSON response when using Java's REST Assured framework.

Understanding the Problem

Let’s consider a scenario where you have received a JSON response from a GET API call, and you need to fetch a specific value. For our example, the JSON response looks like this:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

In this response, you want to extract the _id "60df3ffd440138383acb62c9" that is located inside the kitDetails array. Let’s break down the solution into simple steps.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Setup Your Environment

Before diving into extraction, ensure that you have the necessary libraries in your project, such as REST Assured and other dependencies that aid with JSON parsing.

Step 2: Use JsonPath to Parse JSON

Using REST Assured, you can leverage the JsonPath class to navigate through the JSON structure. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to achieve this:

Step 3: Code Explanation

Let’s dissect this code:

Parsing the Response:

Here, we obtain a list representation of the JSON array using JsonPath.

Accessing Nested Map:

This line gets the kit_config_id object, which contains further nested data.

Getting kitDetails:

We retrieve the list of kitDetails which contains the _id values we want to fetch.

Iterating Through the List:

Finally, we loop through each kitDetail and print out the _id.

Conclusion

Extracting values from JSON responses using REST Assured in Java can be straightforward with the correct approach. By employing JsonPath, you can easily navigate through complex JSON structures and retrieve the exact data you need.

If you encounter JSON responses frequently in your coding journey, mastering these skills will undoubtedly make your life easier. Happy coding!
