How to ignore {} in json path query

Question

I have json response (given below), from which I'm trying to extract availtimeSlots (each record). My Json path giving the output as {"Sq.Num":"1","elapseTimeHour":"13","elapseTimeMinute":"30"}(for first match). but I want to extract "Sq.Num":"1","elapseTimeHour":"13","elapseTimeMinute":"30" (don't want those {} to be included). Json Path Expression: $.fa.availtimeSlots[*]

Json Body:

{"success":true,"fa":{"availtimeSlots":[{"Sq.Num":"1","elapseTimeHour":"13","elapseTimeMinute":"30"},{"Sq.Num":"2","elapseTimeHour":"22","elapseTimeMinute":"05"},{"Sq.Num":"3","elapseTimeHour":"13","elapseTimeMinute":"30"}]}}

Answer 1

You can add a JSR223 PostProcessor somewhere after the JSON Extractor and use the following code:

1.upto(vars.get('myVar_matchNr') as int, {
    vars.put('myVar_' + it, vars.get('myVar_' + it).replace('{', '').replace('}', ''))
})

just replace myVar with what you set as the "Names of created variables" in the JSON Extractor and it will remove the curly braces from the extracted values.

In the above code snippet vars stands for JMeterVariables class instance, see Top 8 JMeter Java Classes You Should Be Using with Groovy article for more information on this and other JMeter API shorthands available for the JSR223 Test Elements .
