How to read and parse incoming message from kafka broker in a consumer?

Question

I am new to Kafka.I am trying to write a consumer. I am getting data from multiple tables of a database using only a single kafka topic. The messages which are coming in the below format:

{"TABLE":{"string": "TABLE1"},"NAME":{"string":"JOHN"},"AGE":{"string":"26"},"ADDRESS":{"string":"USA"}

{"TABLE":{"string": "TABLE2"},"NAME":{"string":"RYAN"},"AGE":{"string":"30"},"ADDRESS":{"string":"CANADA"},"PIN":{"string":"000001"},"PHN":null,"STATUS":{"string":"MARRIED"}}

What kind of data format it is? JSON or AVRO? How to parse this using scala?

Answer 1

its json. you may parse it as:

import scala.util.parsing.json.JSON


val result = JSON.parseFull("""{"TABLE":{"string": "TABLE1"},"NAME":{"string":"JOHN"},"AGE":{"string":"26"},"ADDRESS":{"string":"USA"}""")
