[musafirkhana]

I have a json like this.{ "role" : { "id" : 3, "name" : "Customer" } } How to i get the value "name" from document. I am using database.getCollection(collectionName).getDocument(documentId).getField("role"); for getting role its return me role={id=3,name=Customer}

How can i manage that ? Thanks

Hi, you can see this issue #94 that I did some days ago. I have not closed that because I have not proved the last answer from @mwaclawek, but I think that you can do it with your example.

Yes, thanks for helping @cristianhoyos66!

@musafirkhana Please follow the code example from the linked issue and report your findings here. What you did so far is correct. The solution is to know that the field that you retrieved in the end corresponds to the data type that you saved there in JavaScript, i.e. on the Meteor server.

• If you saved a string in JavaScript, the field is of type String in Java.
• If you saved a number in JavaScript, the field is of type Integer, Long, Float or Double in Java.
• If you saved a boolean in JavaScript, the field is of type Boolean in Java.
• If you saved an object ({}) in JavaScript, the field is of type Map<String, Object> in Java. This should be what you have here.
• If you saved an array ([]) in JavaScript, the field is of type List<Object> or Object[] in Java. I'm not sure, you have to try this.

Hope that helps!
