I am exporting an XML file of Customer Orders and am trying to parse the data to json but fail at the parse json point. Because some Orders only have only 1 Item, The Output 'Item' comes in as object. But when an order has multiple Items the 'Item' output changes to array.
{
"message": "Invalid type. Expected Array but got Object.",
"lineNumber": 0,
"linePosition": 0,
"path": "orders.order[1].Product_Details.item",
"schemaId": "#/properties/orders/properties/order/items/properties/Product_Details/properties/item",
"errorType": "type",
"childErrors": []
},
{
"message": "Invalid type. Expected Array but got Object.",
"lineNumber": 0,
"linePosition": 0,
"path": "orders.order[2].Product_Details.item",
"schemaId": "#/properties/orders/properties/order/items/properties/Product_Details/properties/item",
"errorType": "type",
"childErrors": []
},
schema will only parse one or the other so if i set to Object i get error in the Reverse for the other orders i Expected Object but git array.
Can any one help with how i can allow objects at a certian point to be accepted or converted to array during the parse process? unsure where to do this as before the pasre Json i cant get the body of the XML to json process i am using.
Accepted Solutions
Thanks for providing the full JSON. I think I got it working.
I put your JSON in a compose step; however, I had to remove the @ characters to avoid an invalid JSON error. So you'll have to do the equivalent with a replace function.
I then added a Select action to demonstrate. I used this as the input to provide an Array to the Select

Didnt qget complete flow working, only your 1 step to Select. still don't know how to retreive that data further on?
I need to Populate forms , add data to sharepoint lists, send emails...
sorry , totally lost me there..
I can pull most of the objects out by using same item expression, etc... But am getting stuck at the array of the Items , i am populating a word Document from template with a table referencing products, Previously i was able to Initiate and array then append that array and use that out put but that is not working and when i try to use your array the form recognises there is supposed to be data but some values are not there
using your Expression for the items
if(contains(string(item()?['Product_Details/item']), '},'), item()?['Product_Details/item'], createArray(item()?['Product_Details/item']))
i am then running
The inputs from the Select are coming in
and the inputs for the Products
[
{
"Product_Qty": "2",
"Product_SKU": "RVIT",
"Product_Name": "Vehicle ID Tags",
"Product_Variation_Details": "",
"Product_Unit_Price": "25.00"
},
{
"Product_Qty": "5",
"Product_SKU": "RREUSEMASK",
"Product_Name": "Reusable Face mask",
"Product_Variation_Details": "",
"Product_Unit_Price": "5.00"
}
]
Outputs from the populate
But when i do the Form knows data is supposed to be there but is not filling in the product details. you can see left screen all pdf file load ok to destination, all individual outputs are loading OK to the top of the document but the products fro the array expression Only the ProductQty is coming in?
Since items is an array, you'll need to treat it as such inside your Apply to each. For example, here is one way to get the Product Names out. See expressions in the image.
