Groovy: find a particular item from JSON array

JSON File

{
"FormElements": [
  {
    "ButtonLabel": [
      "New",
      "Done",
      "Save as draft",
      "Submit",
      "Next",
      "Finish"
    ],
    "XPath": "//*[text()='LABEL']"
  }
  ]
}

From the above JSON to find a particular item in the array. For example, I want to Find "New" from the above one. Below is my code but its return null

def isAvailable = InputJSON.FormElements.find {it."ButtonLabel[0]"=="New" }

Can anyone validate the above code, whether any changes are required in this?

From your code follows that you want to check for existence of an element, rather than find that element.

With this im mind the code can look like:

import groovy.json.*

def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText '''{ "FormElements": [ {"ButtonLabel": [ "New", "Done", "Save as draft", "Submit", "Next", "Finish"], "XPath": "//*[text()='LABEL']" } ] }'''

boolean isAvailable = 'New' in json.FormElements*.ButtonLabel.flatten()
boolean isNotAvailable = 'AAAAA' in json.FormElements*.ButtonLabel.flatten()

assert isAvailable && !isNotAvailable

Normally I would use indexOf.

InputJson.FormElements[0].ButtonLabel.indexOf('New')

-1 means its not present. Its hard to tell not knowing the source of your json... etc

Slight syntax error accessing ButtonLabel items. It should be,

def isAvailable = InputJSON.FormElements.find {it."ButtonLabel".[0]=="New" }

OR

def isAvailable = InputJSON.FormElements.find {it."ButtonLabel".get(0) == "New" }
