Deserializing JSON array of objects into POJO

[Alex]

Hi,

I have the following JSON response for one of my APIs:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "encodedKey": "12345",
            "id": "77",
            "creationDate": "2017-01-23T13:02:56Z",
            "lastModifiedDate": "2017-01-25T15:54:59Z",
            "name": "Branch 1",
            "phoneNumber": "",
            "emailAddress": ""
        }
    ]
}

and the following object model:

public class Branch {

    @NotNull
    private String id;

    @NotNull
    private String name;

    @NotNull
    @Past
    private Date creationDate;

    @NotNull
    private Date lastModifiedDate;

    private String phoneNumber;

    @Email
    private String emailAddress;

    // getters & setters
}

My question is if there's a possible solution to serializing/deserializing other than wrapping the Branch into another class (e.g. "BranchWrapper") containing a List of Branches. This would be tedious to do for all my objects.

If would be very handy to be able to do something like below:

Branch branchBasic = given().pathParam("id", branchId)
                .when()
                .get("/branches/{id}")
                .then()
                .rootPath("data[0]") // would extract the Response starting with the given root path
                .extract()
                .as(Branch.class);

Any alternatives?


Thanks,

You should be able to do something like this:

List<Branch> branches = given().pathParam("id", branchId)

                .when()

                .get("/branches/{id}")

                .then()                

                .extract()

                .jsonPath()

                .getList("data", Branch.class);

Thanks Johan! Found the exact same solution in the meanwhile.
