Escaping

[Martin Eigenbrodt]

Hi all,

is there a way to escape Special characters in JsonPath. For exmpale
given the json:
{
"This.Is.Some.Valid.Key" :\"value"
}

How do I express the literal "." in JsonPath?


Regards,

Martin

Hello,

you can use bracket notation in JsonPath

@Test
public void path_with_bracket_notation() throws Exception {
String json = "{\"foo.bar\": {\"key\": \"value\"}}";

Assert.assertEquals("value", JsonPath.read(json, "$.['foo.bar'].key"));
}

Cheers

Hello Martin,

I am having same problem as you , I am using Rest Assured library to test my Restful APIS. I have couple of fields with dot notation (like some.name). please see how my json looks

{

"id":"123"
"Art.Num"="532957578"

}

I am using below code to get value of the field "Art.Num"

String Json = when().get("myUrl").asString();

JsonPath json = new JsonPath(Json);

json.get("['Art.Num']");

But it fails with exception, Can not extract Num on null object.

hope someone can help me.
