Hi guys,

[Irayya Mathad]

I am a beginner to groovy Technology how to read JSON file and how to validate JSON data in groovy.

HI Irayya, 

Here is something I use to parse JSON in JIRA using scriptrunner. 

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

String jsonFile = """{
 "Contact": {
 "me@me.com": ["Certif1","Certif2"],
 "me@me2.com": ["Certif3","Certif4"],
 "me@me3.com": ["Certif1","Certif4"]
 }
}"""

def mySlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def parsed = mySlurper.parseText(jsonFile)
return parsed.Contact."me@me.com"

if you parse a file instead of a String, you can use : 

File myFile = new File("Path")
mySlurper.parse(myFile)

Hope it help

Atlassian applications do use JSON, and we do modify them with Groovy sometimes, but this is not really the best place to ask about this as a general subject.  You probably want a more Groovy based forum.

I've read json with groovy, but my code is rubbish and I'm sure it could have been written better.  A lot of people here won't have worked with either, it's sort of the wrong audience for your question.
