Parse a JSON gives JsResultException

I am trying to parse a JSON which may or may not have a field. So I made the field option. But when I try to parse the JSON it results in JsResultException

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets

import play.api.libs.json
import play.api.libs.json.Json


case class Test(field1: String , field2: Seq[String] = Seq.empty[String])

object Test{

  implicit val format = Json.format[Test]
}

val t = Test("1")

println(s"here = ${t.field2}")


val test  = """""{"field1":"test1"}"""""""

//Json.fromJson[Test](Json.parse(test), T)
Json.parse(test).as[Test]

Exception: 

play.api.libs.json.JsResultException: JsResultException(errors:List((/field1,List(ValidationError(List(error.path.missing),WrappedArray()))), (/field2,List(ValidationError(List(error.path.missing),WrappedArray())))))
    at play.api.libs.json.JsReadable$$anonfun$2.apply(test2.sc:19)
    at play.api.libs.json.JsReadable$$anonfun$2.apply(test2.sc:19)
    at play.api.libs.json.JsResult$class.fold(test2.sc:69)
    at play.api.libs.json.JsError.fold(test2.sc:9)
    at play.api.libs.json.JsReadable$class.as(test2.sc:17)
    at play.api.libs.json.JsString.as(test2.sc:42)
    at com.rallyhealth.healthvault.files.dao.A$A1$A$A1.get$$instance$$res0(test2.sc:21)
    at #worksheet#.#worksheet#(test2.sc:54)

Tried this

import play.api.libs.json
import play.api.libs.json.Json

case class Test(field1: String = "", field2: Seq[String] = Seq.empty[String])

object Test {


  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit ={
    implicit val jsonFormat: json.Format[Test] = Json.using[Json.WithDefaultValues].format[Test]


    val test = """""{"field1":"test1"}"""""""

    //Json.fromJson[Test](Json.parse(test), T)
    val value = Json.parse(test).as[Test]
    println(value)
  }
}

I am still getting below exception

Exception in thread "main" play.api.libs.json.JsResultException: JsResultException(errors:List((,List(JsonValidationError(List(error.expected.jsobject),WrappedArray())))))

The problem is that the parameters must be of type Option, that it's working.

case class Test(field1: Option[String], field2: Option[Seq[String]])

The simplest solution is to set Default values if you don't want to change the signature:

case class Test(field1: String = "", field2: Seq[String] = Seq.empty[String])

implicit val jsonFormat: Format[Test] = Json.using[Json.WithDefaultValues].format[Test]
