I'm trying to access an object that it is part of an HTTP JSON Response, this one. What I want is to access only the location object from that response. If I access the full response from the developer console like this. 

String url ='http://api.wunderground.com/api/48ba9f7756d42102/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/Spain/Sevilla.json';

HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(url);
req.setMethod('GET');

Http http = new Http();
HttpResponse res = http.send(req);
String responseBody = res.getBody();

system.debug('Weather response: ' + responseBody);

I get the full response exactly as the link above. That is fine. Now I want to access only the location JSON object by doing this:

  1. I created one class for this purpose: 

    public with sharing class WeatherLocation {

public location location{get;set;}

public class Location {
    public String country_iso3166{get;set;}
    public String zip{get;set;}
    public String magic{get;set;}
    public String country{get;set;}
    public String wmo{get;set;}
    public String state_name{get;set;}
    public String latitude{get;set;}
    public String state{get;set;}
    public String longitude{get;set;}
    public String city{get;set;}
    public String elevation{get;set;}
    public String full{get;set;}
  }
}

  2. I execute a new anonymous code:

    String url ='http://api.wunderground.com/api/48ba9f7756d42102/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/Spain/Sevilla.json';
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(url);
req.setMethod('GET');
Http http = new Http();
HttpResponse res = http.send(req);
String responseBody = res.getBody();
WeatherLocation.location Wloc = (WeatherLocation.location)JSON.deserialize(responseBody, WeatherLocation.location.class);
system.debug('WeatherLocation  ' + Wloc);

The output that I'm getting:

20:21:59:367 USER_DEBUG [15]|DEBUG|Github user Location:[city=null, country=null, country_iso3166=null, elevation=null, full=null, latitude=null, longitude=null, magic=null, state=null, state_name=null, wmo=null, zip=null]

The response is sending back null values for each of the fields I want to use. Anyone knows what it is that I'm missing here. This approach works fine with other JSON responses, do I need to call some other JSON object in order to get access to the location object? Any help will be much appreciated.

    Shouldn't you just deserialize into a WheatherLocation instance, not WheatherLocation.Location? Commented May 9, 2017 at 18:55
  • Let me try that Adrian. Commented May 9, 2017 at 18:58
  • Adrian, that did it. Deserializing into WheaterLocation rather than WheaterLocation.Location is giving a response back for those fields. Commented May 9, 2017 at 19:02

You need to deserialize into the proper type. In this case, that's the top level class (WeatherLocation). I stripped out some irrelevant attributes from your payload and it came through clean. Here's the Execute Anonymous script I used to demonstrate:

public with sharing class WeatherLocation
{
    final Location location;
}
public class Location
{
    public final String country_iso3166, zip, magic, country;
    public final String wmo, state_name, latitude, state;
    public final String longitude, city, elevation, full;
}

String payload = '{"location":{"type":"INTLCITY","country":"SP","country_iso3166":"ES","country_name":"Spain","state":"SE","city":"Sevilla","tz_short":"CEST","tz_long":"Europe/Madrid","lat":"37.38000107","lon":"-5.98000002","zip":"00000","magic":"2","wmo":"WLEEC","l":"/q/zmw:00000.2.WLEEC","requesturl":"global/stations/WLEEC.html","wuiurl":"https://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/WLEEC.html"}}';
WeatherLocation instance = (WeatherLocation)JSON.deserialize(payload, WeatherLocation.class);
system.debug(instance);

  • @Carlos I didn't catch it myself until my anonymous script threw a compile fail! Commented May 10, 2017 at 20:51

    That is one of the dangers of copy/paste :) Commented May 10, 2017 at 21:03
