check on json response (Scala)

Question

I want to do a sanity-check on the response I get from a request and verify that element1 is 2017 in the below response:

body=
{
  "id"        : { "element1": "2017", "element2": "ST", "nivaa": "land", "navn": "element3", "nr": "0" },

How do I do that in something like this format:

.check(jsonPath("$._element").is("2017")))

The code above does not work.

What do I put in where it says "$._element"

Please, clarify which one JSON library do you use? Based on the JSON library you can get an answer on your question — Alex Fruzenshtein, Feb 21 '17 at 09:59

Since you are using this in Gatling project, I may assume you work with JSONpath. According to its documentation, if you want to get a value of element1 field from the body, you have to use following construction:

$.id.element1

or its equivalent:

$[id][element1]

Please, let me know about your result
