Deserialize bit of JSON Response

Hi,
Below is the JSON Response of External REST Service API. My requirement is to extract a piece of data from the response. I am unable to deserialize the piece of data which is in BOLD.

{"sports" :[{"name" :"tennis","id" :850,"uid" :"s:850","leagues" :[{"name" :"Association of Tennis Professionals","abbreviation" :"atp","id" :850,"groupId" :"atp","shortName" :"ATP","athletes" :[{"id" :760,"firstName" :"Jorge","lastName" :"Aguilar","fullName" :"Jorge Aguilar","displayName" :"Jorge Aguilar","shortName" :"J. Aguilar","links" :{"api" :{"athletes" :{"href" :"http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/tennis/atp/athletes/760"},"news" :{"href" :"http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/tennis/atp/athletes/760/news"},"notes" :{"href" :"http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/tennis/atp/athletes/760/news/notes"}},"web" :{"athletes" :{"href" :"http://espn.go.com/tennis/player/_/id/760?ex_cid=espnapi_public"}},"mobile" :{"athletes" :{"href" :"http://m.espn.go.com/general/tennis/playercard?playerId=760&ex_cid=espnapi_public"}}}}]
}]}],"resultsOffset" :0,"resultsLimit" :50,"resultsCount" :1,"timestamp" :"2014-02-19T07:35:25Z","status" :"success"}

Hi,

You can try like this ---

JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(response.getBody());
if (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_ARRAY) {
                 while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
                       if(parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_OBJECT){
                           while (parser.nextToken() != null) {

                               if( (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.FIELD_NAME) && ( parser.getText() == 'athletes') ){
                                  
                                   r = new subClass ();

                                   currObj = parser.getText();
                                   continue;
                               }
                               if( ( parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_OBJECT ) && ( currObj =='athletes' ) ) {

                                   while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
                                       if( (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.FIELD_NAME) && ( parser.getText() == 'id')){

                                           parser.nextValue();
                                           r.f = parser.getText();
                                           continue;
                                      
           
            }
            }
           }}}}}

Thanks

   Hi,

     You can try like this for consuming REST based web service (connecting to third party system)---

        Http h = new Http();
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        String url = 'end point url';
        string un = 'username';
        string pw = 'password';
        req.setEndpoint(url);
        req.setMethod('GET');
        req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
        Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(un+ ':' + pw);
        String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);           
        req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        System.debug('BODY: ' + res.getBody());
        //resp is a JSON string
        JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(res.getBody());


Thanks

Hi Nani,

Do you have a wrapper class for a properties mentioned in the JSON?

I not, create a wrapper class with the property of athletes should be a list of another wrapper class.  Because, atheletes is meaning  a list of values rgt?


Example:

For deserializing a JSON string,

public static String func(String activitiesJSON) 
{
List<WrapperClass1> ActivityID_List= (WrapperClass1) JSON.deserialize(activitiesJSON, WrapperClass1.class);
//Your logic here
}

//WrapperClass1
public WrapperClass1{
    //properties
}
