Key Value Map, Value as JSON

[#1]

Is there any way this would be possible? I wanted to assign for lets say a key "A" a value of {"hello":"Hello World!","barbie":"ken"}.

when i try doing that, there is an intermittent response of Malformed JSON: Expected ',' instead of '' anyone can help me ?

Dear @Hanzel Garcia ,

Below Key Value Map policy works perfectly fine for me. Please let us know if it helps.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<KeyValueMapOperations name="putUrl" mapIdentifier="urlMapper">
    <Scope>apiproxy</Scope>
    <Put override="true">
        <Key>
            <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/>
        </Key>
        <Value>{'hello':'Hello World!','barbie':'ken'}</Value>
    </Put>
    <Get assignTo="urlencoding.shorturl" index="1">
        <Key>
            <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/>
        </Key>
    </Get>
</KeyValueMapOperations>

Hi there, this seems to work with a little side notes perhaps, for example, 'hello' = "hello".

when using single quotation marks results on "bad string" error.

And I had used <InitialEntries></InitialEntries> tags and not that <Put></Put> tags. And maybe the <Put> tags made it to work also. Can you please differentiate the two tags for me?

Dear @Hanzel Garcia ,

Initial Entries is just like assigning default values to key store. Put is used to override existing key value store. In any case, even below map works for me.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<KeyValueMapOperations name="putUrl" mapIdentifier="urlMapper">
    <Scope>apiproxy</Scope>
    <InitialEntries>
        <Entry>
            <Key>
                <Parameter>initialJsonEntry</Parameter>
            </Key>
            <Value>{hello:'Hello World!', barbie:'ken'}</Value>
        </Entry>
    </InitialEntries>
    <Put override="true">
        <Key>
            <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/>
        </Key>
        <Value>{hello:'Hello World!', barbie:'ken'}</Value>
    </Put>
    <Get assignTo="urlencoding.shorturl" index="1">
        <Key>
            <Parameter ref="urlencoding.requesturl.hashed"/>
        </Key>
    </Get>
    <Get assignTo="jsonValue" index="1">
        <Key>
            <Parameter ref="initialJsonEntry"/>
        </Key>
    </Get>
</KeyValueMapOperations>

Hmmm.. let me investigate a little further in this. I'll get back to you after I identify which one makes mine erroneous.

Dear @Hanzel Garcia ,

Does it work for you ? Post your policy xml here if you still see an issue.

Hi there, the intermittent error vanished like bubble. And since you extended and suggested a way to put KVM and I used it, I'll accept the answer :D Cheers!
