How To Send Complex Payload As Object -POJO Serialization in Rest Assured

Thank you so much, Mukesh for such a wonderful explanation about POJO

Thank you Dipali.. I am glad to you liked rest assured series.

1:52 You said : 'Payload u r converting into object is Serialization. Reverse is Deserialization '. I think you've got confused here as that is Wrong. But, However this video title is still Correct , bcoz what's happening here is : Our Java Object POJO we're passing , which is getting converted to Payload and being sent to server. So Finally to avoid confusion for viewers, Object converted to payload/ Json file (which can then be passed over internet) = Serialization Json File/payload(which we get from internet) is converted back to a JavaObject= Deserialization. Nonetheless, This Playlist was so great. It actually gave me lot of clarity wrt RestAssured.

Hi Mukesh.. Really appreciate for wonderful videos n passing ur expertise knowledge n making our lives at workplace easier... Can we implement multithreading as well in rest assured .. if yes how can v achive the same please guide n suggest..thanks in advance for all ur support...

Hey Ravi, I am glad my videos are helping you. You can achive multithreading using TestNG.

[@ritwikchakraborty6327]

Hi Mukesh, Thank you for this Superb Explanation! You have shown how to serailize the Pojo object with ObjectMapper Class...but in 28.16(in Jira exapmle) you passed the Pojo objects only without serializing that and it is able to fetch the API response successfully? How did that happened here...just curious to know..! Dooes it mean serailization is optional when we are testing through RestAssured?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ritwik, you can pass object, file, String etc while sending payload.Thank you so much for following the videos.

[@chitranshsharma9764]

Hi Mukesh, you have done a great job , from the main purpose of me studying pojo was i want list type of attribute in pojo becuase the api which is sending me the json object is sending different no. of integers for example- it is sending how much work a user did today then tomorrow then next day..so i wanted to create a list..but i want to know when there is multiple json objects coming where this pojo is storing that..like in this example you shown there was one single json object ..but what is multiple json objects are coming

[@sunandamohanty7204]

Awesome explanation Mukesh,finally i got the POJO concept .please add some more videos on frame work designing and extracting data from json(nested json array).

[@Mukeshotwani]

I will try my best Thanks Sunanda

[@ramana223]

Hi Mukesh, in createIssueJira class you have issuetype with value TASK and Project with value REST ,payload with value demo1 and demo description, then how in runtime your not getting the same in JSON response

[@Mukeshotwani]

I used separate project for this demo because I was using docker so I lost my old project.. you can use any project with any data.

[@dibakardey6097]

@Mukesh what is the use of object mapper when we are passing the object reference in body for pojo...why do we need object mapper

[@parkashram6482]

If payload is very complex, should we need to go through this approach..or any other option we can use...

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Parkash, you can use Lambok for complex payload.

[@satyendras]

Hi Mukesh, Good work as always. No question on your video, though I was just wondering as always its seems very easy with small sample API in tutorial, but when it comes to real implementation its not that easy. For ex as per your simple sample only we need to have 3-4 pojo classes, then think of a project where one needs to handle 100s of ( of course few of them may have more complex payloads with 50+ fields in there) APIs. Also its not easy to maintain this many pojo classes against changes where we have to add extra fields/nodes to json and remove few or change the values in there ..Can you please suggest any other approach if possible to deal my situation..? Thanks in Advance

[@testautomation6742]

Use String Manipulation it will be easy you can maintenance 100's field in minutes. Don't care payload is very complex or not.

[@prafulanand6548]

If there are multiple complex responses do we need to create POJO classes like these for every response? Or is there any better approach

[@testautomation6742]

If you create API you have to do above explanation but if you will do TEST not need to do above. JSON payload is a String file. So you can use String Manipulation which is very easy with replace method.

[@mahammadjabirsi7478]

Thanks Mukesh for this video, I have a doubt why we are writing getter and setter methods there, though we are not using it anywhere in the program.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes we have used it.

[@ChethanCP]

@mukesh what is the difference between pass payload as json file and the above approach? Is there any performance issue for json file as payload?? please clarify this

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Chethan I have not seen any performance issue. We have different ways to send payload so depends on type of payload you can go with any of the approach. If you have static payload then take from file else pojo.

[@manishsharma1834]

If we need to send bulk data to create bulk resources on the server using Rest assured, then which approach we should follow and how exactly it can be done. Please reply. thanks

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hey Manish, unfortunately rest assured does not have any method of this type so we need to take help of TestNG to do this. TestNG has dataProvider which run single test multiple times with different set of data. You can call same API multiple time with different set of data.

[@Tidda420]

Hi Mukesh, will you please tell me difference between serialization and marshalling. what i know 1. We need a medium for communication between two APIs or two systems which can be JSON/XML/FILE/Plain text 2. For this communication we need to compress our object into stream of bytes e.g: POJO to JSON 3. This conversation is known as serialization 4. But there is also a term known as Marshalling where we convert java object to JSON , so I'm not able to differentiate in both, can you please help, pls differentiate marshalling and serialization

[@AlwaysAStranger]

When I convert POJO to JSON, it gets created in a different order. For example, I am expecting field1, field2, field3 { field4, field5, field6}, field7, field8 but I am getting it in field1, field2, field3, field87, field8, field3 { field4, field5, field6} order.

Thank you so much Priyank for www.jsonschema2pojo.org/. I will give a try for this. In our company they dont allow to use these site because of private data but it is very good for public data.
