Not able to fetch Json object from restassured Response(in json)

Question

I am getting response from the server in json format by hitting post request using restAssured using java.

Response response = requestSpecification.body(text).post(endpoint);

now i want to fetch sub json object named "freebies". How can i perform this operation because when i am writting :

JSONObject responseJSONObject = new JSONObject(response);

//jsonObject.getJSONObject("freebies").getString("id");

JSONArray list = jsonObject.getJSONArray("freebies");

String freebies = list.getJSONObject(0).getString("id");

    for (int i = 0; i < freebies.length(); i++) {
        String id = list.getJSONObject(i).getString("id");
        System.out.println(id.toString());
        String name = list.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
        System.out.println(name.toString());
        String packName = list.getJSONObject(i).getString("packName");
        System.out.println(packName.toString());
        String quota = list.getJSONObject(i).getString("quota");
        System.out.println(quota.toString());

I am getting stackoverFlow err.

Please help.

Answer 1

Try to use the line below to translate restassured response body to JSONObject format:

JSONObject responseJSONObject = new JSONObject(response.getBody().asString);

Answer 2

ValidatableResponse statusResponse = givenJsonRequest().when()
    .get("/field/entity/test").then();
ArrayList<Map<String,?>> jsonAsArrayList = statusResponse.extract()
    .jsonPath().get("");
Optional<Map<String,?>> filtered = jsonAsArrayList.stream()
    .filter(m -> m.get("fieldName1").equals("Whatever1"))
    .filter(m -> m.get("jsonObject").toString().contains("Whatever2"))
    .findFirst();
Assert.assertTrue(filtered.isPresent(), "Test expected a result after filtering.");

Answer 3

In RestAssured 4.4.0 the following works:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response.jsonPath().getJsonObject("$"));
