Unable to get the required value from JSON in java" The method getString(String) is undefined for the type String""

Question

I have 2 json's where I need to compare and get the matching value, I am using the below way in java where the boolean condition works fine and returns true after the comparison but unable to get the value from getString, Receiving the error message "

the boolean condition works fine and returns the value as true

So i converted the to a JsonObject and resolved the original issue stated in this issue by following the below step,

`scriptToRunJsonString` looks like an instance of a String. A String has no method called `getString` - and what would that even do, anyway? — Michael, Jun 07 '18 at 07:56
Why do you iterate on `JsonargumentdetailsforRunner` while you use `scriptToRunJsonString` inside the loop? You are running an out-of-index exception risk here (plus, it doesn't make sens). — Ahmad Shahwan, Jun 07 '18 at 08:07
@AhmadShahwan -Yes agree, i did get an out-of-index exception here after i resolved the issue stated in this question. How to resolve the out-of-index exception in this case ? — SimbuStar, Jun 07 '18 at 13:24

scriptToRunJsonString is a string, use JsonargumentdetailsforRunner which is a collection instread.

Unfortunately, you didn't mention the types of your objects, trying this may work depending on the real type of JsonargumentdetailsforRunner.

for (int i = 0; i < argumentdetailsforRunner.length(); i++) {
    String key = argumentdetailsforRunner.get(i).getScriptArgumentName().toString();
    if (JsonargumentdetailsforRunner.contains(key)) {
        String argumentStringValue=JsonargumentdetailsforRunner.getString(key);
        log.info(argumentStringValue);
    }
}
