Response from swagger client function is NOT a well formed JSON

[ashokrajab]

The response obtained by invoking the swagger client function (for catalog api) is as follows:

code: catalogApi.getCatalogItemWithHttpInfo("endpoint", asin).getData().getPayload().toString() response: class Item { identifiers: class IdentifierType { marketplaceASIN: class ASINIdentifier { marketplaceId: ATVPDKIKX0DER ASIN: B00YT13T3Q } skUIdentifier: null } attributeSets: class AttributeSetList { [class AttributeSetListType { department: Unlocked cell phones are compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile as well as with GSM SIM cards (e.g. H20, Straight Talk, and select prepaid carriers).

The response obtained when invoking the catalog API via postman is as follows:

{ "payload": { "Identifiers": { "MarketplaceASIN": { "MarketplaceId": "ATVPDKIKX0DER", "ASIN": "B07SYHVWP8" } }, "AttributeSets": [ { "Binding": "Baby Product", "Brand": "Unknown", "Color": "Black", "Label": "Test", "Manufacturer": "Test", "ManufacturerMinimumAge": { "Units": "months", "value": 12.00 }, "PartNumber": "123213123", "ProductGroup": "Baby Product", "ProductTypeName": "BABY_PRODUCT", "Publisher": "Test", "SmallImage": { "URL": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11z7-R5VwML._SL75_.jpg", "Height": { "Units": "pixels", "value": 74 }, "Width": { "Units": "pixels", "value": 75 } }, "Studio": "Test", "Title": "Test (Black) - Test" } ], "Relationships": [ { "Identifiers": { "MarketplaceASIN": { "MarketplaceId": "ATVPDKIKX0DER", "ASIN": "B07SYZHM1M" } } } ], "SalesRankings": [] } }

As you can see the response obtained via directly invoking the API is a well-formed JSON whereas the one obtained via swagger client function is NOT a well-formed JSON (there is no , (comma) after each JSON element and strings like class RelationshipList are inserted in between).

Cleaning the response at our end is a tedious task. We are requesting the Amazon team to modify the definition of toString() function such that it returns a well-formed JSON.

If there are any work-arounds kindly suggest. We are willing to get it a shot.
