Integration Server 10.5 | Built-In Services Reference Guide | JSON Folder | pub.json:jsonStringToDocument
 
pub.json:jsonStringToDocument
WmPublic. Converts a JSON string to a document (an IData object).
Input Parameters
jsonString
String JSON content in a string to convert to a document (IData object).
decodeRealAsDouble
String Optional. Converts real numbers from jsonString to either a Float or Double Java wrapper type. Set to:
*true to convert real numbers to Double Java wrapper types. This is the default.
*false to convert real numbers to Float Java wrapper types.
Note:
The decodeRealAsDouble parameter overrides the value specified by the watt.server.json.decodeRealAsDouble server configuration parameter. If no value is supplied for decodeRealAsDouble, Integration Serveruses the value set in watt.server.json.decodeRealAsDouble. For more information about watt.server.json.decodeRealAsDouble, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
decodeRealAsString
String Optional. Converts real numbers in the jsonStream to String. Set to:
*true to convert real numbers to String.
*false to not convert real numbers to String. The real numbers are then converted to either Float or Double Java wrapper type depending on the values specified in decodeRealAsDouble. This is the default.
Note:
The decodeRealAsString parameter overrides the value specified by the watt.server.json.decodeRealAsString server configuration parameter. If no value is supplied for decodeRealAsString, Integration Server uses the value set in watt.server.json.decodeRealAsString. For more information about watt.server.json.decodeRealAsString, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
decodeIntegerAsLong
String Optional. Converts integers from jsonString to either a Long or Integer Java wrapper type. Set to:
*true to convert integers to Long Java wrapper types. This is the default.
*false to convert integers to Integer Java wrapper types.
Note:
The decodeRealAsDouble parameter overrides the value specified by the watt.server.json.decodeIntegerAsLong server configuration parameter. If no value is supplied for decodeIntegerAsLong, Integration Server uses the value specified in the watt.server.json.decodeIntegerAsLong property. For more information about watt.server.json.decodeIntegerAsLong, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
decodeNullRootAsEmpty
String Optional. Converts a null value that Integration Server retrieves from JSON content to either IData or empty IData. Set to:
*true to convert the null value to empty IData. The subsequent encoding of empty IData creates a JSON text of “{}”. This JSON content is different from the original JSON content (null) as the original null value gets converted to JSON text of "{}".
*false to convert the null value to IData. This is the default.
Output Parameters
document
Document Document (IData object) resulting from the conversion of jsonString.
Usage Notes
A JSON text may contain only an unnamed array. When parsing such a JSON text with pub.json:jsonStringToDocument, Integration Server uses a fixed name of $rootArray for the array value. The $rootArray field appears in the document output parameter.
The JSON standard requires that field names be enclosed in double quotes. However, when parsing legacy JavaScript as JSON text it may be helpful to allow unquoted field names as JavaScript does not require field names to be enclosed in double quotes. The server configuration parameter watt.server.json.allowUnquotedFieldNames specifies whether or not unquoted field names are allowed in JSON text passed to thepub.json:jsonStringToDocument and pub.json:jsonStreamToDocument services. If this parameter is set to true, the pub.json:jsonStringToDocument and pub.json:jsonStreamToDocument services allow unquoted field names in any supplied JSON text. If this parameter is set to false, the services throw a ServiceException when encountering unquoted field names. The default is false.
If decodeRealAsString is set to true and decodeRealAsDouble is either set to true or left blank, an error message is displayed.
Set decodeRealAsString to true to prevent the conversion of real numbers to scientific notation.
