splitJsonObjects

splitJsonObjects(json: String) : List<String>

Splits a string containing multiple JSON objects into an ordered list of individual JSON object strings.

  • This function is useful when parsing output that contains multiple JSON objects concatenated together.
  • The returned list preserves the order in which the JSON objects appear in the input string.

Example​

jsonText = """
{"name": "device1", "status": "up"}
{"name": "device2", "status": "down"}
{"name": "device3", "status": "up"}
""";

foreach objectString in splitJsonObjects(jsonText)
let actualJSON = extractJson[{name: String, status: String}](objectString)
let status = actualJSON.status
select actualJSON
order by status ascending

Notice that splitJsonObjects returns individual objects as Strings, but if we want them as typed records then we use the extractJson function.
