Creating an Application to Test JSON Manipulation
- To apply these approaches, let’s create a simple Node.js application. We will use this application to send HTTP requests and manipulate JSON data.
Step 1: Install Required Modules
Start by installing the required Node.js modules. You will need express for handling HTTP requests and body-parser for parsing JSON data. Install these modules using the following commands:
npm install express
npm install body-parser
Step 2: Update Dependencies in Package.json
After installing the necessary modules, make sure to update your package.json file to reflect these dependencies:
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.17.1",
"body-parser": "^1.19.0"
}
Step 3: Create the Application
Next, create a new file named app.js and add the following code:
const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post("/test", function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body);
res.send("Received");
});
app.listen(3000, function () {
console.log("Example app listening on port 3000!");
});
Step 4: Test the Application with Postman
Now that the application is ready, you can use Postman to send a POST request to http://localhost:3000/test. Include a JSON body with a nested object and see how the application logs the body of the request.
How to add nested object to existing JSON using Postman ?
Postman has become a critical tool for developers around the world, particularly when dealing with JSON data. This article will guide you through the process of adding nested objects to an existing JSON using Postman, with a focus on the approaches and syntax involved.
