i am using NMSDK script  to get info of cluster,
but i want to get the output in json() format.

How can i set the Content type as "application/json"  

<snip>

import sys
import pprint
import json
sys.path.append("./NetApp")
from NaServer import *


s = NaServer("Array", 1 , 32)
s.set_server_type("FILER")
s.set_transport_type("HTTPS")
s.set_port(443)
s.set_style("LOGIN")
s.set_admin_user("admin", "password@123")
api = NaElement("cluster-identity-get")

xi = NaElement("desired-attributes")
api.child_add(xi)


xi1 = NaElement("cluster-identity-info")
xi.child_add(xi1)

xi1.child_add_string("cluster-contact","<cluster-contact>")
xi1.child_add_string("cluster-location","<cluster-location>")
xi1.child_add_string("cluster-name","<cluster-name>")
xi1.child_add_string("cluster-serial-number","<cluster-serial-number>")
xi1.child_add_string("cluster-uuid","<cluster-uuid>")
xi1.child_add_string("rdb-uuid","<rdb-uuid>")

xo = s.invoke_elem(api)
print (type(xo))
if (xo.results_status() == "failed") :
print ("Error:\n")
print (xo.sprintf())
sys.exit (1)


print ("Received:\n")
data = xo.sprintf()
print (data)

Initially you said, you want Application/JSON. May I know you need JSON or Application/JSON? 

 

If you need only JSON, you can not convert XML to JSON but from XML to Dict. Though there is work around to convert using Application/JSON using Response which is usable in Flask. 

If you just need JSON in order to access Dict key/values then xmltodict should work for you. You can use this way. 

 

obj = xmltodict.parse(xo.sprintf())
jd = json.dumps(obj)
jl = json.loads(jd)


if xo.results_status() == "failed":
reason = xo.results_reason()
print ("Failure: %s" %reason)
else:

for h in jl["results"]["attributes-list"]["aggr-attributes"]:
if int(h["aggr-space-attributes"]["percent-used-capacity"]) > 80:
print (h["aggregate-name"], readable_size(int(h["aggr-space-attributes"]["size-total"])), readable_size(int(h["aggr-space-attributes"]["size-used"])), readable_size(int(h["aggr-space-attributes"]["size-available"])), h["aggr-space-attributes"]["percent-used-capacity"])
else:
pass

when i try to get data also it is giving instance details only.

 

example:

obj = xmltodict.parse(xo.sprintf())
jd = json.dumps(obj)
jl = json.loads(jd)
a = Response(jl, content_type='application/json')
#pprint.pprint(dir(a))

pprint.pprint(a)--> <Response likely-streamed [200 OK]>
print a.get_json-->  <bound method Response.get_json of <Response likely-streamed [200 OK]>>
print a.is_json---> True
print a._get_data_for_json--> <bound method Response._get_data_for_json of <Response likely-streamed [200 OK]>>
 
 
what i want is json data.

NMSDK recieves data in the XML format which is similar to JSON. They have key value pair, can be nested into other elements arbitarily.

yes , i know

i want to know is there any way we can set content-type

No, NMSDK only supports XML like formatting for the data getting sent and being recieved.

Did you try this? 

 

obj = xmltodict.parse(xo.sprintf())
jd = json.dumps(obj)
a = Response(jd, content_type='application/json')

a = Response(jd, content_type='application/json')----> what us Response here??

from flask import Response

No not working.

because xo.sprinf() return unicode type data.

and when we use below code

<snip>

obj = xmltodict.parse(xo.sprintf())
jd = json.dumps(obj)
a = Response(jd, content_type='application/json')
pprint.pprint(a.data)----> it return in dict format, but its data type is <str>
print data["cluster-uuid"] ---> so when try to access by it key it gives error

<snip>

Data i get: 

'{"results": {"@status": "passed", "attributes": {"cluster-identity-info": {"cluster-contact": null, "cluster-location": "B", "cluster-name": "IA", "cluster-serial-number": "1--7868", "cluster-uuid": "----uuid----", "rdb-uuid": "---uuid---"}}}}'

 

<error>
print data["cluster-uuid"]
TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

<error>

Try to add json loads. 

 

obj = xmltodict.parse(xo.sprintf())
jd = json.dumps(obj)
jl = json.loads(jd)
a = Response(jl, content_type='application/json')
