58. Convert JSON to POJO class to handle dynamic payload using Jackson| Rest Assured|

Your videos are awesome Amod.

Glad you like them!

Thanks Amod. Not able to understand the purpose.As we have to create the POJO for this as well, so how we are saving effort??

[@arunmohan1950]

Hi Amod. This is really informative. I think something is missing here at the last. Can you show how is the modified JSON and what should we do if we do not have any POJO?

[@RetargetCommon]

Hi Arun, Thanks for feedback. I have tried to correct them and answer your queries in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jKnYiZjNhosJI

Hi Amod, I am getting this error everytime, Exception in thread "main" com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "streetName" (class Pojo.Address), not marked as ignorable (5 known properties: "houseNo", "city", "streetname", "state", "country"])

You need to add annotation to ignore unknown properties.

[@samarthjain5170]

@@RetargetCommon in your video I think you havent added that annotation ?

[@AmritAgarwal07]

if we use @jsoninclude nonnull and non_empty with readValue() method then this annotation is not working

I want to replace the payload which is in List

[@avishekbehera]

Good approach and nice explanation Amod. But I feel this is not ideal if we have to test the API with multiple different sets of data. Example: I need to test with 10 sets of data using a data provider. I want all fields to be different data every time. Anyways I need to update them to different values. In this case, having a JSON file is an extra effort, we have POJO anyways. Rather - Improve the POJO with Lombok that reduces a lot of code - Use data provider to feed different sets of data to POJO to construct a payload - Similarly, we can have POJO for Response JSON too and we deserialize to do assertion based on fields. No need of reading the JSON file here. Let me know your thoughts.
