How to unmarshall a string constant object from JSON to as a Java Object?

Question

I have the following JSON:

{
  "code":1000,
  "message":"Success",
  "data":{
    "results":[
      {
        "lineId":"C4000LG2020253739",
        "lineDiagnostics":{
          "C4000LG2020253739":{
            "ap":{
              "broadbanddsthroughput":{
                "broadbandDsThroughput":[
                  {
                    "average":104830,
                    "std":0,
                    "detection":0,
                    "numErrorFreeSamples":1,
                    "sampleMaxPercentile":107673,
                    "latestSampleTimestamp":1698160893000,
                    "sampleMax":107673,
                    "url":"http://blah-blah.com",
                    "videoQuality":7,
                    "serviceDetection":-1,
                    "percentile":[
                      104830
                    ],
                    "latestSample":104830,
                    "primaryIp":"205.171.3.100",
                    "speedTestTrafficMB":56.9910995
                  }
                ]
              },
              "broadbandusthroughput":{
                "broadbandUsThroughput":[
                  {
                    "average":37828,
                    "std":0,
                    "numErrorFreeSamples":1,
                    "sampleMaxPercentile":38393,
                    "latestSampleTimestamp":1698160893000,
                    "sampleMax":38393,
                    "url":"http://blah-blah.com",
                    "serviceDetection":-1,
                    "percentile":[
                      37828
                    ],
                    "latestSample":37828,
                    "primaryIp":"205.171.3.100",
                    "speedTestTrafficMB":21.8231345
                  }
                ]
              }
            },
            "interface":{
              
            },
            "station":{
              
            },
            "multiWan":{
              
            }
          }
        },
        "analysisDay":20231024
      }
    ]
  }
}

Under the lineDiagnostics, we have the "C4000LG2020253739": {...} and I need the contents from inside this object for my further calculations, could anyone please let me know how can this be achieved?

I am using Jackson to map the JSON values to a Java class.

Note: This particular string value "C4000LG2020253739":{...} will change with every microservice call(and not the contents inside this{...}), so I am facing problem with creating a general purpose Java class for this JSON structure.

I am using Jackson to map the JSON values to a Java class:

public class Class1{
    //historical speed response structure : map from json response
    String code;
    String message;

    @JsonProperty("data")
    DataSpeeds dataSpeeds;
...}

public class DataSpeeds {
    @JsonProperty("results")
    List<Results> results;

    @JsonProperty("lineId")
    String lineId;
...}

public class Results {

    String lineId;

    @JsonProperty("lineDiagnostics")
    LineDiagnostics lineDiagnostics;
...}

public class LineDiagnostics {
    @JsonProperty("ap")
    Ap ap;
...}

Inside the LineDiagnostics object, I need to map the "C4000LG2020253739":{...} from JSON, how can this be done? any pointers?

Though @RobbyCornelissen has already mentioned it, I would like to expand on it. In the Result class, change the type of the field lineDiagnostics to Map<String, LineDiagnostics> from plain LineDiagnostics. Jackson will then populate the keys of this map with C4000LG2020253739, etc. and the values as the corresponding unmarshalled LineDiagnostics instances. — Sree Kumar

Option 1

At least you can deserialize json to Map and retrieve required data from it.

public static Map<String, Object> getLineDiagnosticByLineId(File file, String lineId) throws IOException {
    TypeReference<HashMap<String, Object>> typeRef = new TypeReference<>() {
    };

    Map<String, Object> map = new ObjectMapper().readValue(file, typeRef);
    Map<String, Object> data = (Map<String, Object>) map.getOrDefault("data", Map.of());
    List<Object> results = (List<Object>) data.getOrDefault("results", List.of());

    return results.stream()
            .map(result -> (Map<String, Object>) result)
            .filter(result -> lineId.equals(result.get("lineId")))
            .map(result -> result.getOrDefault("lineDiagnostics", List.of()))
            .map(lineDiagnostics -> (Map<String, Object>) lineDiagnostics)
            .findFirst().orElse(Map.of());
}

Option 2

But I recommend you to build a model and use it instead of Map.

Simple model could look like this:

@Getter
@Setter
public class DataModel {

    private Integer code;
    private String message;
    private Data data;

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class Data {

        private List<Result> results;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class Result {

        private String lineId;
        private Map<String, Object> lineDiagnostics;
        private Integer analysisDay;

    }

}

And your business code like:

public static Map<String, Object> getLineDiagnosticByLineId(File file, String lineId) throws IOException {
    DataModel dataModel = new ObjectMapper().readValue(file, DataModel.class);
    return dataModel.getData().getResults().stream()
            .filter(result -> lineId.equals(result.getLineId()))
            .map(DataModel.Result::getLineDiagnostics)
            .findFirst().orElse(Map.of());
}

Option 3

And finally. You can solve your problem with mup Map<String, Object> inside LineDiagnostics and define setter with @JsonAnySetter annotation.

@Getter
@Setter
public class DataModel {

    private Integer code;
    private String message;
    private Data data;

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class Data {

        private List<Result> results;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class Result {

        private String lineId;
        private LineDiagnostics lineDiagnostics;
        private Integer analysisDay;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class LineDiagnostics {

        private Map<String, LineDiagnostic> lineDiagnostics = new HashMap<>();

        @JsonAnySetter
        public void setLineDiagnostic(String key, LineDiagnostic value) {
            lineDiagnostics.put(key, value);
        }

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class LineDiagnostic {

        private Ap ap;
        @JsonProperty("interface")
        private Object anInterface;
        private Object station;
        private Object multiWan;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class Ap {

        @JsonProperty("broadbanddsthroughput")
        private BroadbandDsThroughput broadbandDsThroughput;
        @JsonProperty("broadbandusthroughput")
        private BroadbandUsThroughput broadbandUsThroughput;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class BroadbandDsThroughput {

        private List<BroadbandThroughput> broadbandDsThroughput;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class BroadbandUsThroughput {

        private List<BroadbandThroughput> broadbandUsThroughput;

    }

    @Getter
    @Setter
    public static class BroadbandThroughput {

        private Double average;
        private Double std;
        private Double detection;
        private Integer numErrorFreeSamples;
        private Integer sampleMaxPercentile;
        private Long latestSampleTimestamp;
        private Integer sampleMax;
        private String url;
        private Integer videoQuality;
        private Integer serviceDetection;
        private List<Integer> percentile;
        private Integer latestSample;
        private String primaryIp;
        @JsonProperty("speedTestTrafficMB")
        private Double speedTestTrafficMb;

    }

}

And your final result should look like this:

public static DataModel.LineDiagnostics getLineDiagnosticByLineId(File file, String lineId) throws IOException {
    DataModel dataModel = new ObjectMapper().readValue(file, DataModel.class);
    
    return dataModel.getData().getResults().stream()
            .filter(result -> lineId.equals(result.getLineId()))
            .map(DataModel.Result::getLineDiagnostics)
            .findFirst().orElse(null);
}

That's a great answer! I was looking for to such a POJO. Maybe one 's' you missed at: @JsonAnySetter setLineDiagnostics(...) This solved my problem. Thank you so much!
