Re: How to modify and then recombine json response data without breaking json formatting

[Henry Versemann]

I have attached files (please pardon the code file; they may have a lot of 
comments or commented out code in them) to this response so you can look at 
the data that I'm seeing as well as the actual code which is using some of 
the data shown (the file *json_data_list_031115.txt* is gotten in a 
previously executed view and then sent as a parameter to the 
*SetupComplexResponseData* view included in file 
*SetupComplexResponseData_031115.txt* ). The *json_data_list_031115.txt* is 
a combination of name and id data scraped from a previous request and shown 
in the object_parm_list of objects in the *response_data_031115.txt* file. 
Note the *"name"* and *"id"* fields which some of my code previously added 
to the original response data returned in each of the object in the 
json_data_list in the *json_data_list_031115.txt* file, and note the 
difference in the way the keys *"participations"* and *"page_views"* of 
each object are formatted as opposed to the two new keys *"name"* and *"id"* 
that my code added to the individual json response data now in python 
object form. The final file  *Send_Request_View_Code_Block_031115.txt* show 
the higher level code which calls the *SetupComplexresponseData* view and 
also then returns the response data back to the client (*return 
HttpResponse()). *If you have any questions or need more stuff to look at 
let me know and I'll post it. I'm heading out to a meeting now which I may 
be at for several hours.

Re: How to modify and then recombine json response data without breaking json formatting

[Bill Freeman]

OK.  but I need more code context.  The if statement that does the
modification is clearly python, so at that point rspnsdata must be a python
dictionary, not a JSON string.  Yet, if I understand you correctly, it is
JSON to begin with (and you are using json.loads() to turn it into python
data so that you can manipulate it, but then you must later turn it back
into a JSON string (json.dumps()) to send as a response.  So there's lots
of code you haven't shown.  If the problem were where you're concentrating,
you would have found it.  Please expand the scope of what you're showing.

Re: How to modify and then recombine json response data without breaking json formatting

[Henry Versemann]

OK here goes. The logic in the routine which I actually doing the 
modification to each individual JSON response looks like this:

if str(objctTyp) == 'user':
rspnsdata['name'] = lstobjct['name']
rspnsdata['id'] = lstobjct['id']


The routine which is doing this is receiving parameter data that looks like 
this when printed in string format in the windows command prompt window:

The following piece of parameter data is actually what came back as my JSON 
response from the current secondary request that the application sent.
rspnsdata=

{
u'participations': [], 
u'page_views': 
{
u'2015-02-05T00:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-03-02T23:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-01-24T19:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-02-08T13:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-01-28T19:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-01-20T19:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-02-19T10:00:00-06:00': 2, 
u'2015-02-21T17:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-02-02T13:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-02-16T13:00:00-06:00': 1, 
u'2015-02-01T23:00:00-06:00': 2, 
u'2015-02-03T12:00:00-06:00': 2
}

}

The following bit of parameter data was actually passed in as the data for 
the current student which the latest secondary request was sent for and 
whose associated data JSON data is shown above. 

lstobjct=

{
'name': 'Brennan Kennedy', 
'id':'8202'
}

The following parameter data type "user" indicates that 'name' and 'id' key 
data is passed in in the 'lstobjct' parameter and those key value pairs 
will be added to the received JSON data. 

objctTyp=

user

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

 2.7.8, and the requests (Requests: HTTP for Humans

 library 
 version2.4.3 to build the application mentioned below. 

 I have an application which needs to be able to process a single AJAX 
 request as a series of related sub-requests sent to a remote API. Each 
 sub-request response comes back in JSON format. The first of these 
 sub-requests returns a list of students in a particular course, and the 
 returned response data is a list containing student objects all in JSON 
 format. A Django view code then strips outs the 'name' and 'id' of each 
 student object in the list and builds it as an entry in another python 
 list 
 to be used later(I'm using "json.loads()" to get to successfully the 
 original JSON data returned in each reasponse). Then once this list is 
 built it is passed to another view which then submits a different request, 
 for each student "id", in the newly built list, to the same API, to return 
 all student information (related to a particular course-id which is also 
 passed in this second request), for the current student. Then the returned 
 course-student information, for this second request, is also returned in 
 JSON format. 

 Everything up to this point works perfectly, but it is at this point 
 that I believe my process is going wrong, when I try to modify the JSON 
 data returned, form the second series of requests. 

 My modifications seem to work, on the server side(and I'm using 
 json.dumps() to serialize my data into JSON format), and all of my data 
 seems to be present when I print it in my command prompt window right 
 before sending it back to the client, as part of an HttpResponse. Then 
 when 
 I try to access some of the data using javascript/jQuery once its 
 been sent back to the client then some of the  "jQuery.parseJSON()" 
 statements fail when I try to access the data I've formatted in the view, 
 for my response. 

 So my next question is how do I correctly modify the JSON response data

OK here goes. The logic in the routine which is actually doing the

if str(objctTyp) == 'user':
rspnsdata['name'] = lstobjct['name']

 2.7.8, and the requests (Requests: HTTP for Humans

 library 
 version2.4.3 to build the application mentioned below. 

 I have an application which needs to be able to process a single AJAX 
 request as a series of related sub-requests sent to a remote API. Each 
 sub-request response comes back in JSON format. The first of these 
 sub-requests returns a list of students in a particular course, and the

 student object in the list and builds it as an entry in another python

 to be used later(I'm using "json.loads()" to get to successfully the 
 original JSON data returned in each reasponse). Then once this list is 
 built it is passed to another view which then submits a different request, 
 for each student "id", in the newly built list, to the same API, to return 
 all student information (related to a particular course-id which is also 
 passed in this second request), for the current student. Then the returned 
 course-student information, for this second request, is also returned in 
 JSON format. 

 Everything up to this point works perfectly, but it is at this point

 So my next question is how do I correctly modify the JSON response data 
 (for each course student) returned from each request? Then once modified 
 how do I correctly add it to a list, without breaking the JSON formatting, 
 and causing it to not be well-formed, when I send it back to the client? 

 This is the first time that I've attempted to do anything like this 
 (modify and/or recombine) with JSON data, so I'm looking for an answer 
 that 
 my current level of Django/Python experience can't seem to provide, though 
 I am continuing to search for answers. 

 Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks for the help.

[Bill Freeman]

If it's not the basics, then you haven't provided enough information to
allow someone to spot the problem.  If you post the code that is performing
the modification, someone may be able to spot the issue.

Re: How to modify and then recombine json response data without breaking json formatting

[Henry Versemann]

Yes Id did do that. The problems I seem to be having only seem to happen 
whenever I modify the data before sending it. For many other requests that 
I'm sending and not modifying the data, before I send them back to the 
client I have no problems and everything is apparently parsed out ok by the 
javascript on the client side.
Thanks.

[Bill Freeman]

Did you remember to set the content type of your response to
application/json?
