getting length of values in array returned in json object

[markg]

Using restassured and doing a get on an endpoint, I'm getting back this json object in the response and am trying to find a way to determine the number of values associated with "Names" .

{

    "Names": ["HOTP","AuthConfiguration","Federation","Repository","Policy","Service","LDAP","DataStore","SAE","Delegation","Module","OATH"]

}

Any help appreciated.

Hi, 

Do you want to validate the length or extract the length from the document? If you want to validate you can do:

expect().

             body("Names.size()", is(12)).

when().

           get("/endpoint");

if you want to extract the size you can do:

int size = get("/endpoint").path("Names.size()");

Regards,

/Johan

Johan,

I was looking to extract the length.  But, after some further research found that this wasn't necessary.  I was really just wanted to extract the values from the array.  This code

response.getBody().jsonPath().getList("serviceNames", String.class);

gets the values as a list and allows me to iterate over it.
