How can I transform a JSON Object from target server response into a different JSON object to send to the client?
I have a requirement wherein I am getting a standard JSON response from target server and I have to create JSON object from that response and send it to client application.
The response from target server is as follows:
{
"results":
[
{
"mail": "employee@gmail.com",
"uid": "Employee Name",
"displayName": "Username",
"givenName": "firstname",
"sn": "lastname",
"Employee Id": "12345"
},
{
"mail": "employee2@gmail.com",
"uid": "Employee2 Name",
"displayName": "Username2",
"givenName": "firstname2",
"sn": "lastname2",
"Employee Id": "123456"
}
]
}
This is the response that I would like to send to the client:
{
"apiVersion": "1.0",
"persons": [
{
"Empid": "12345",
"name": "Employee Name",
"email": "employee1@gmail.com"
},
{
"Empid": "123456",
"name": "Employee2 Name",
"email": "employee2@gmail.com"
}
]
}
I tried to achieve this using Javascript but no success so far.
I should not edit the JSON object returned by the Target server indeed I have to create a new JSON object and set that in response.content.
Best Wishes,
Ashwini

HI @AshwiniRai -
This is a GREAT usecase for a JavaScript callout.
try the following JS policy code
var respObj = response.content.asJSON;
response.content = '';
response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';
var body = response.content.asJSON;
body.apiVersion = "1.0";
body.persons = [];
var data = respObj.results;
for(var i in data)
{
var person = {
"Empid": data[i]["Employee Id"],
"name" : data[i]["uid"],
"email": data[i]["mail"]
};
body.persons.push(person);
}
See if this works
