Turn a JSON array of key/value pairs into object properties - jsonata

I'm trying to use JSONata to convert arrays of "key/value" objects into properties of the parent object. My input looks like this:
[
{
"city": "Ottawa",
"properties": [
{
"name": "population",
"value": 37
},
{
"name": "postalCode",
"value": 10001
},
{
"name": "founded",
"value": 1826
}
]
},
{
"city": "Toronto",
"properties": [
{
"name": "population",
"value": 54
},
{
"name": "postalCode",
"value": 10002
}
]
}
]
I'm struggling to generate the output I need, I've seen examples that reference explicit elements, like in this answer, but I need the properties to be converted "dynamically" since I don't know them in advance. I think I need something like this, but I'm missing some particular function:
$[].{
"city": city,
properties.name: properties.value
}
This is the output I need to generate:
[
{
"city": "Ottawa",
"population": 37,
"postalCode": 10001,
"founded": 1826
},
{
"city": "Toronto",
"population": 54,
"postalCode": 10002
}
]
The properties arrays don't always contain the same keys, but the city attributes are always present.

You can use the reduce operator, as described in the Grouping docs here:
$[].(
$city := city;
properties{ "city": $city, name: value }
)
You can play with it live: https://stedi.link/uUANwtE

Please try this expression.
$[].{
"city": $.city,
$.properties[0].name: $.properties[0].value,
$.properties[1].name: $.properties[1].value,
$.properties[2].name: $.properties[2].value,
$.properties[3].name: $.properties[3].value
}

How to use JSONpath to extract specific values

I'm using JSONpath to try and find data with an array of JSON objects but I'm struggling to get to the information I want. The array contains many objects similar to below where there are values for RecID throughout. If I use $..RecID I get them all when I only want the first Key.RecID of each object (with a value 1338438 in this example). Is there a way to only extract the top level Key.RecID value?
BTW I'm trying to do this in jMeter and I'm assuming JSONpath is the best way to do what I want but if there is a better way I'd be happy to hear about it.
Thanks in advance

"Key": {
"RecID": 1338438
},

}
}
},

How to cleanly batch queries together in Gremlin

I am writing a GraphQL resolver that retrieves all vertices by a particular edge using the following query (created returns label person):
software {
created {
name
}
}
Which would resolve to the following Gremlin Query for each software node found:
g.V().hasLabel('software').has('name', 'ripple').in('created')
This returns a result that includes all properties of the object:
{
"result": [
{
"#type": "d",
"#rid": "#24:0",
"#version": 6,
"#class": "person",
"in_knows": [
"#35:0"
],
"name": "josh",
"out_created": [
"#32:0",
"#33:0"
],
"age": 32,
"#fieldTypes": "in_knows=g,out_created=g"
}
],
"dbStats": {
...
}
}
I realize that this will fall foul on GraphQL's N+1 query so i'm trying to batch queries together using a Dataloader pattern. (i'm also hoping to do property selections, so i'm not asking the database to return too much info)
So i'm trying to craft a query like so:
g.V().union(
__.hasLabel('software').has('name', 'ripple').
project('parent', 'child').by('id').
by(__.in('created').fold()),
__.hasLabel('software').has('name', 'lop').
project('parent', 'child').by('id').
by(__.in('created').fold())
)
But this results in the following where the props are missing and it just includes the id of the vertices I want:
{
"result": [
{
"parent": "ripple",
"child": [
"#24:0"
]
},
{
"parent": "lop",
"child": [
"#22:0",
"#23:0",
"#24:0"
]
}
],
"dbStats": {
...
}
}
My Question is, how can I have the Gremlin query return all of the props for the found vertices and none of the other props? Should I even been doing batching this way?
For anyone else reading, the query I was trying to write wouldn't work because the TraversalSet created in the .by(_.in('created') can't be cast from a List to an ElementMap as the stream cardinality wouldn't be enforced. (You can only have one record per row, I think?)
My working query would be to duplicate the keys for each row and specify the props needed (the query below is ok for gremlin 3.3 as used in ODB, otherwise if you've got < gremlin 3.4 replace the last by step with be(elementMap('name', 'age')):
g.V().union(
__.hasLabel('software').has('name', 'ripple').
as('parent').
in('created').as('child').
select('parent', 'child').
by(values('name')).
by(properties('id', 'name', 'age').
group().by(__.key()).
by(__.value())),
__.hasLabel('software').has('name', 'lop').
as('parent').
in('created').as('child').
select('parent', 'child').
by(values('name')).
by(properties('id', 'name', 'age').
group().by(__.key()).
by(__.value()))
)
So that you get a result like this:
{"data": [
{
"parent": "ripple",
"child": {
"id": 5717,
"name": "josh",
"age": 32
}
},
{
"parent": "lop",
"child": {
"id": 5709,
"name": "peter",
"age": 35
}
},
{
"parent": "lop",
"child": {
"id": 5713,
"name": "marko",
"age": 29
}
},
{
"parent": "lop",
"child": {
"id": 5717,
"name": "josh",
"age": 32
}
}
]
}
Which would allow you to create a lookup where you concat all results for "lop" and "ripple" into arrays.

How to create a struct for kind of scenario

How can we define a struct for this kind of output
{"test": {
"124": {
"Num1": {
"name": [],
"age":[],
"salary": "23565",
"location":[
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
},
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
}
]
},
"Num2": {
"name": [],
"age":[],
"salary": "23565",
"location":[
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
},
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
}
]
},
"Num3": {
"name": [],
"age":[],
"salary": "23565",
"location":[
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
},
{
"city": "loc",
"street":2
}
]
}
}
}
}
The output may vary on input or based on file input. For example, as you can see there json inside "124" can vary based on input.
For example : it can be Num1, Num2 , Num3 , ...Num10 or in some case just Num1 and Num2 and in some cases it can be more than Num10 objects
something like below
{"test": { "124": { "Num1":{...} ,.........., "Num12":{...}}} more or less.
Not getting how to make it suitable for all cases, tried with the design having some 10 objects of Num but if it has 15 or 20 objects of Num, in my case Unmarshalling will happen for only 10 objects of Num rest will be left behind if it is more.
If someone can help me through this it will be helpfull.
This is the only part that looks structured
{
"name": [],
"age": [],
"salary": "23565",
"location": [
{
"city": "loc",
"street": 2
},
{
"city": "loc",
"street": 2
}
]
}
So you can create a lets say ABC struct for above
Then what you have is
map[string]map[string]map[string]ABC
Or if the test and 124 are fixed keys you can make
type XYZ struct {
Test Test `json:"test"`
}
type Test struct {
X map[string]ABC
}
But anyway you need to deal with a map :)

Nifi - Copy all the keys after transforming only one key

I want to copy all they keys in the json except one which i want to transform.
ex.
Input JSON
{
"ts": "20200420121222",
"name": "broker",
"city": "queensland",
"age": 21,
"gender": "male"
"characteristics": {
"Card Id": "63247354",
"Termination Plan": "paid"
}
}
Output JSON
{
"ts": "20200420121222",
"name": "broker",
"city": "queensland",
"age": 21,
"gender": "male"
"characteristics": {
"card_id": "63247354", // change here
"termination_plan": "paid" // change here
}
}
Is there any better way via which i can just change the following above keys and copy the rest
You can use the "*": "&" construct to include all other fields that have not yet been matched:
[
{
"operation": "shift",
"spec": {
"characteristics": {
"Card Id": "characteristics.card_id",
"Termination Plan": "characteristics.termination_plan"
},
"*": "&"
}
}
]

JMESPath current array index

In JMESPath with this query:
people[].{"index":#.index,"name":name, "state":state.name}
On this example data:
{
"people": [
{
"name": "a",
"state": {"name": "up"}
},
{
"name": "b",
"state": {"name": "down"}
},
{
"name": "c",
"state": {"name": "up"}
}
]
}
I get:
[
{
"index": null,
"name": "a",
"state": "up"
},
{
"index": null,
"name": "b",
"state": "down"
},
{
"index": null,
"name": "c",
"state": "up"
}
]
How do I get the index property to actually have the index of the array? I realize that #.index is not the correct syntax but have not been able to find a function that would return the index. Is there a way to include the current array index?
Use-case
Use Jmespath query syntax to extract the numeric index of the current array element, from a series of array elements.
Pitfalls
As of this writing (2019-03-22) this feature is not a part of the standard Jmespath specification.
Workaround
This is possible when running Jmespath from within any of various programming languages, however this must be done outside of Jmespath.
This is not exactly the form you requested but I have a possible answer for you:
people[].{"name":name, "state":state.name} | merge({count: length(#)}, #[*])
this request give this result:
{
"0": {
"name": "a",
"state": "up"
},
"1": {
"name": "b",
"state": "down"
},
"2": {
"name": "c",
"state": "up"
},
"count": 3
}
So each attribute of this object have a index except the last one count it just refer the number of attribute, so if you want to browse the attribute of the object with a loop for example you can do it because you know that the attribute count give the number of attribute to browse.
