Validate JSON body

[Geeky]

Hi All,

I have below code in my scripted REST API. But in case if there is comma missing or some invalid format, system should generate error. How can I handle it? JSON.parse is not generating any error messages in try-catch blocks.

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {

    try {
        var myRequest = request.body.dataString;
        var obj = new global.JSON().decode(myRequest);
        var output = new createCase().create(obj);
        return output;
    } catch (ex) {
        return ex.message;
    }
})(request, response);

can you have this in your try block?

var parser = new global.JSONParser();

var parsedData = parser.parse(request.body.dataString);

if(parsedData.length >0){

//rest of your code to process

}

I am using the below code. How can I check in this?

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {

    try {
        var myRequest = request.body.dataString;
        var obj = new global.JSON().decode(myRequest);
        var output = new createCase().create(obj);
        return output;
    } catch (ex) {
        return ex.message;
    }
})(request, response);

Hi,

you can use JSON.parse to know whether the incoming string is valid json string or not

So the above script looks good

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi Ankur,

I have updated my script above and now not using JSON.parse. If I am using JSON.parse, in the above code, system is giving me error.
