How to read nested Json using scala?

I am using scala to separate json. I have following Json structure-

"commands":{
"myinfo": [
    {
        "utilization": {
            "sizeBytes": 998848331776,
            "usedBytes": 408722341888,
            "freeBytes": 590125989888
        },
        "name": "ds1",
        "addons": [
            "PQR",
            "ABC"
        ],
        "otherInfo": {
            "model": "MRSASRoMB-4i",
            "name": "naa.6d867d9c7acd60001aed76eb2c70bd53",
            "vendor": "LSI"
        }
    }
]
}}

I want to read value of otherInfo, utilization etc. I can read value of name using following code-

val commandInfo = (rawData \ "Commands").as[JsValue]
(commandInfo \ "myInfo").as[List[JsObject]].map { myJson =>
val name =  (myJson \  "name").asOpt[String]
}

I am using case classes in scala. How do I get values of 'otherInfo','addons' etc using scala?

Are you using dispatch's JSON support? If so, then you might want to consider using json4s instead, which is little like the de facto standard.

I personally would consider trying to use SON of JSON instead, which would make getting the name out a breeze:

commands.myinfo.otherinfo.name.as[String]

… but then again, that's a shameless plug for something I wrote myself. ;-)
