JSON structure string in groovy

Question

I wanted to create a string in groovy in following structure

"{\"Changes\": [{\"Action\": \"UPSERT\", \"ResourceRecordSet\": 
       { \"Name\": \"rms-collector-demo.cnqr.delivery.\",\"Type\": 
         \"CNAME\",\"TTL\": 300,\"ResourceRecords\": [{ \"Value\": 
         \"d-4kushcom5y13.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\"}]}}]}"

tried with escaping characters but was not useful. can some one help what should be the format used in groovy to define this string.

You can use multiline string enclosed between either ''' or """ (three quotes). What is your use case? — Rao

Groovy supports multi-line strings, so you can simply use

"""
   {"Changes": [{"Action": "UPSERT", "ResourceRecordSet": 
   { "Name": "rms-collector-demo.cnqr.delivery.","Type": 
     "CNAME","TTL": 300,"ResourceRecords": [{ "Value": 
     "d-4kushcom5y13.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"}]}}]}
"""

You can also use ''' to create a normal String.

Instead of carefully crafting some JSON as a string (and maybe add errors in the process), you can use JsonOutput to create the JSON from a simple data structure:

def json = groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson([Changes: ["X"]])
println json
// => {"Changes":["X"]}
