The document discusses converting a JSON string to an ABAP structure. It shows that using a standard table of strings works for mapping an array of strings in JSON to a table field in ABAP. Using the JSON_TO_DATA ABAP statement is also demonstrated.

Suppose I have the following JSON data.

{
"data": "abc",
"tab": ["a", "b", "c"]
}<br>

I want to convert this to ABAP structure of the following structure.

|data |tab |
|"abc"|3 lines (first: "a", second: "b, third: "c") |

or,

|data |tab |
|"abc"|"a","b","c" |

At first I thought of defining a type and using /ui2/cl_json=>deserialize as


below.

types: begin of ts_json,


data type string,
tab type string, "this is not right!
end of ts_json.

data(json) = '{ "data": "abc", "tab": ["a", "b", "c"] }'.


data ls_data type ts_json.
/ui2/cl_json=>deserialize(
exporting json = conv #( json )
changing data = ls_data
).

However, I'm stuck because the field "tab" is a table of string which does
not have field names.

If I debug the code, ls_data-data is filled but ls_data-tab is blank.

How can I define such type that can receive an array of string as a table?

it's easy:

types: begin of ts_json,


data type string,
tab type standard table of string with empty key,
end of ts_json.
data ls_data type ts_json.

CALL TRANSFORMATION zst SOURCE XML json RESULT root =


ls_data.

ZST simple transformation (interesting part only):

<object tt:ref=".ROOT">
<str name="data" tt:value-ref="DATA"/>
<array name="tab">
<tt:loop ref="TAB">
<str tt:value-ref="TABLE_LINE"/>
</tt:loop>
</array>
</object>

 The question and its answer proved to be helpful.


 "string_table" type can also be used, so add it.

 METHOD if_oo_adt_classrun~main.

 DATA:
 begin of ls_result,
 data type string,
 * tab type standard table of string with empty key,
 tab TYPE string_table,

 DATA(lv_json_string) = |\{\r\n| &
