Scala: Json sorting operations on a json file which has different datatypes but same schema












0















I have a json file which has two types of data for store and online.But datatypes of few columns are different ,but column names and schema are same.
I would like to do some operations on json like sorting,re-arranging using spray joson library in Scala.But I am not able to apply the case class on josn becuase datatype of "storeId" and "amount" are different.
Is there any way we can re-write case class to handle bothe integer and string ?



Example : I will have them in a file, read it line by line and assign it to string




Given inputJosn String :
{
"purchaseType": "1",
"purchaseChannel": "store",
"storeId": 6167,
"paymentType": [{
"type": "CASH",
"category": "Cash",
"amount": 3.91
}]
},
{
"purchaseType": "2",
"purchaseChannel": "online",
"storeId": "6168",
"paymentType": [{
"type": "Card",
"category": "Card",
"amount": "5.04"
}]
}



Code :



import spray.json._
import DefaultJsonProtocol._

case class payType(`type`:String,category:String,amount:String)
case class Transactions(purchaseType:String,purchaseChannel:String,storeId:String,paymentType: payType )

object MyJsonpayType extends DefaultJsonProtocol {
implicit val payTypeFormat: JsonFormat[payType] = jsonFormat3(payType)
}
import MyJsonpayType._

object MyJsonTransactions extends DefaultJsonProtocol {
implicit val TransactionsFormat: JsonFormat[Transactions] = jsonFormat4(Transactions)
}
import MyJsonTransactions._



inputJosn.parseJson.convertTo[Transactions]


It throws errror saying expecing JsString but got 6167.



I know why is it throwing error, but is these any way to re-writw case class in bettwer way to handle both integer and string.

You can get away with using Either, like



case class payType(`type`:String,category:String,amount:Either[Double,String]) 


But then you are simply kicking the can down the road. If you have to do any operation on the amount field like- sort, aggregation you would need to normalise the data.



If that's case I would better write custom de-serialization for the object with having a single type.

    In these situations I like to use the Jackson library, but in this situation you could just call the storeId:string. After that you can parse it to long by using a companion object.



    Try this:



    case class Transactions (
    purchaseType:String,
    purchaseChannel:String,
    storeId:String,
    paymentType: payType ) {

    def storeIdToLong(t: Transaction) = TransactionsAsLong(
    purchaseType = t.purchaseType,
    purchaseChannel = t.purchaseChannel,
    storeId = t.storeId.toLong,
    paymentType = t.paymentType
    )
    }

    case class TransactionsAsLong (
    purchaseType:String,
    purchaseChannel:String,
    storeId:Long,
    paymentType: payType )


    object Transactions {
    implicit def transactions_to_long(t: Transactions): TransactionsAsLong = t.storeIdToLong()
    }


    Now you can write val test: Transaction = TransactionsAsLong(...) if you need that.



    I would suggest to write a custom deserializer instead :-)
