Hi Team,
We are currently facing challenges with our payment processing implementation, specifically related to handling responses. Currently, we receive responses in a specific format and extract values using indices. However, due to the presence of additional data, the intended values are sometimes shifted to different indices, resulting in accurate data retrieval.
To illustrate the issue, consider the following example response:
{
"directResponse": "1,1,1,This transaction has been approved.,KP51H8,Y,8001065994106,...,0.00,0.00,0.00,FALSE,554,,P,2,...,XXXX1111,Visa,...,I7VM5Y1P40U75LEH2U9LKZV,...",
"resultCode": 0,
"messages": [
{ "code": "I00001", "text": "Successful." }
]
}
In our current approach, fetching the Tax amount relies on a specific index, such as 32. However, the presence of additional data can lead to unpredictable shifts in the index, making it challenging to reliably retrieve the Tax amount.
We have a few questions and concerns:
- Index-Free Value Retrieval:
- Is there a recommended method for retrieving values from the response without relying on indices? We seek a more robust approach that does not break when the response structure changes.
- Handling Extra Data in Response:
- In cases where we encounter additional data in the response, such as multiple emails or varied zip code formats, could you provide insights into when such scenarios might occur, and are there measures we can take to ensure a consistent response structure?
- Mapping Values to Parameters:
- Is there a suggested way to map values in the response to specific parameters? This approach would allow us to fetch data using parameters rather than indices, providing more flexibility in response handling.
