getting arrays from the nulls in strings and nulls in integer values tWriteJSONField

[Anonymous]

Hello All

Am writing to JSON file from CSV, in that process see the below json file how it is generated 

"object": {
"number": "1548364482",  
"ID": "378827052",
"name": [],  (string datatype)
"ChainNumber": [],  (integer datatype)

"dispenserTypeCode": "1"

For the above string and integer data types i don't have any data  in my CSV which are null

So my expected output is below

"object": {
"number": "1548364482",
"ID": "378827052",
"name": "",  (string datatype)
"ChainNumber": null, ( for integer datatype)

"dispenserTypeCode": "1"

Can any one help me how to configure the twritejsonfeilds to get this kind of output

Thanks In Advance

Hi Manish,

    What about your input data? Is it an array for these problematic columns? Could you please share 5 input sample records so that we will get more idea?

FALSE	No	Generic	1
FALSE	Non	Generic	2
FALSE	None	Generic	4

Hi Manish,

    Your input and output data looks totally different in your previous posts. Lets start again on a clean slate. Could you please provide 5 input records and corresponding JSON output in expected and actual cases?

Thanks @nthampi 

The above below is the input csv

Boolean	string	string	int
FALSE	No	Generic	1
FALSE	Non	Generic	2
FALSE	None	Generic	4

And the Json am getting is like below

"json": [

{

"Boolean" :false,

"string" :"no",

"string": "generic",

"int":1

},

{

"Boolean" :false,

"string" :"non",

"string": "generic",

"int":2

},

{

"Boolean" :[],

"string" : [],

"string": [],

"int":[]

},

{

"Boolean" :false,

"string" :"none",

"string": "generic",

"int":4

}

Please look at the red highlighted one, how would i rectify that

that highlighted red is expected in this format

{

"Boolean" :  ,

"string" :"",

"string": "",

"int":null

}

Thanks

Hi Manish,

      There seems to be some problem in the input JSON you have provided. I would recommend to test it with JSONLint or some other tool. 

      Coming to the issue, you are trying to load a Boolean and integer value with empty string. The concept about boolean is that if true value is not available, by default, it will become false. So you will have to either provide true or false value. The best chance in your case will be to convert all the columns to String and then do the JSON conversion.
