parse JSON in groovy to get values (python dict)

Question

I have a dictionary that I get as a python dictionary in groovy which I then assign to a variable x :

def x = "{'JIRACHEF': 'PIBEP-2135', 'JIRADEPLOYER': 'PIBEP-2136', 'JIRASINGLEBUILD': 'PIBEP-2137'}"

I want to parse the above and get values for :

• JIRACHEF
• JIRADEPLOYER
• JIRASINGLEBUILD

whats the most elegant groovy way of doing it ?

Answer 1

You can use the LAX slurper (in recent versions of Groovy):

import groovy.json.*

def x = "{'JIRACHEF': 'PIBEP-2135', 'JIRADEPLOYER': 'PIBEP-2136', 'JIRASINGLEBUILD': 'PIBEP-2137'}"

def parsed = new JsonSlurper().setType(JsonParserType.LAX).parseText(x)

println parsed.JIRACHEF
println parsed.JIRADEPLOYER
println parsed.JIRASINGLEBUILD
