I have a sample json as follows:
{
"Id": "someid",
"FirstName": "firstName",
"nestedField": {
"LastName": "lastname"
}
}
If I deserialize it like the following, the "Lastname" is being set even though it is in a nested json object. How can I avoid it?
String request = '{"Id": "0036D00000H24cKQAR","FirstName": "firstName","nestedField": {"LastName": "lastname"}}';
Contact c = (Contact)JSON.deserialize(request, Contact.class);
System.debug(c);
There is no attribute 'nestedField' in the standard contact, hence you can't deserialize it to standard contact record. But you can write a wrapper class such as
public class ContactWrapper {
public class NestedField {
public String LastName;
}
public String Id;
public String FirstName;
public NestedField nestedField; }
and then use it as
ContactWrapper cw = (ContactWrapper) System.JSON.deserialize(request,ContactWrapper);
then you can traverse it to the last name such as :-
string lname = cw.nestedField.LastName
As per your JSON structure , lname will have value = "lastname"
deserialize. They are not allowed in deserializeStrict, which you are talking about.
