Below is the sample json document or json variable I have. I'm using python for extracting the required fields as mentioned int the output section.



Can someone help on how to do this?



json_variable = 

"server01":
"address":"server01:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"
,
"server02":
"address":"server02:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"
,
"server03":
"address":"server03:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"



for x in json_variable:
print(x["address"])

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 30, in <module>
File "<string>", line 18, in getServerStatus
TypeError: 'shell.Dict' object is not iterable


I can get the required output by hard coding the fields as below, but i would like to do it dynamically as the number of servers vary depending upon the system queried and json returned.



print(json_variable["server01"]["address"])
print(json_variable["server02"]["address"])
print(json_variable["server03"]["address"])


Required Output:



server01:5454 --> online 
server02:5454 --> online
server03:5454 --> online

  • To do this generically, you're going to have to at least hardcode the patterns to look for so the code has a clue as to what you're interested in retrieving. Not sure why you seem to think it needs to be done recursively, however.

Here's another way to get the server status from the JSON.



json_info = 
"server01":
"address":"server01:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"
,
"server02":
"address":"server02:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"
,
"server03":
"address":"server03:5454",
"options": ,
"state":"online"



for server in json_info.values():
server_status = server['state']
if 'online' in server_status:
server_name = server.get('address')
print (' is online'.format(server_name.split(':')[0]))
# output
# server01 is online
# server02 is online
# server03 is online
#
# print (' --> online'.format(server_name))
# output
# server01:5454 --> online
# server02:5454 --> online
# server03:5454 --> online
else:
server_name = server.get('address')
print(' is offline'.format(server_name.split(':')[0]))

    Treat it as a dictionary:
