I Have a REST api that contains the data like this way
{
...
... //<- more data here
...
"currencies": {
"BTN": {
"name": "Bhutanese ngultrum",
"symbol": "Nu."
},
"INR": {
"name": "Indian rupee",
"symbol": "₹"
}
}
...
... //<- more data here
...
}
i am doing a project in java where i need to use okhttp and show information about a country from an available rest api and before when i used this api it had all the data in currencies in an data array and that was helpful as you can just get the first zero object from the array , but after they updated the api they made all data in currencies an object and i only want the first object , any way i can get it?
CodePudding user response:
OK, so you have two options here ...
Option 1.
Create two classes like this and use ObjectMapper
class to do automatic deserealisation for you.
class CurrencyData {
String name;
String symbol;
}
class CurrencyJsonResponse {
CurrencyData INR;
CurrencyData BTN;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OkHttpClient client = // build an instance;
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
ResponseBody responseBody = client.newCall(request).execute().body();
CurrencyJsonResponse currencyResponse = objectMapper.readValue(responseBody.string(), CurrencyJsonResponse.class);
//Get data by using getters on currencyResponse object
}
Option 2
You can write a custom deserealizer by extending the StdDeserializer<T>
class. You'll have to programmatically inspect the JsonNode
parse tree and assemble the object that you want.
This article explains how to do it and comes with a working code sample
