how can I get the response from JSON format using script?

Question

I'm using SoapUI Pro 4.5.0 and also a beginner for this tool. I need to get the value from the response (JSON format). Can anyone give me sample code for this?

Note: I'm using the REST based service not SOAP based service.

<dependency> <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId> <artifactId>json-path</artifactId> <version>0.8.1</version> </dependency> — chrismead

SoapUI includes JsonSlurper class in the groovy jar, so you just have to import it like

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

and then the response is obtained as

responseContent = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("<test_step_name>").getPropertyValue("Response")

jsonresponse = new JsonSlurper().parseTest(responseContent)

Now you can access the elements in response like

jsonresponse.id

I would suggest using JSONPath from a Groovy script. You may need to add the JSONPath Jar to the /bin/ext directory.

I don't have SoapUI in front of me, but in the groovy script it would be something like:

def getResponse = context.expand( '${SomeGet#response}' )
def jsonSuff = JsonPath.read(getResponse, "\$..*")

Here is what was in my POM if you have trouble with the other JAR (I had created an external JAR that I used in SoapUI).

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
    <artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.1</version>
</dependency>

And this was my import statement: import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath
