String text in parsing loop conflicts with class variable text

[IrwinHorowitz]

the local instance of 'text' was assigned instead of the this.text when 'text' is an entity in the parsed json. Possibly make your String text field unique by naming it j2a_text or something like that or use the this.text in the assignment. Below I did both to resolve the issue. Thanks for this great utility.

public class Fields { public String description {get;set;} public Boolean required {get;set;} public String text {get;set;} public String type {get;set;} public String id {get;set;} public String value {get;set;} public List options {get;set;} public String prompt {get;set;}

    public Fields(JSONParser parser) {

        while (parser.nextToken() != System.JSONToken.END_OBJECT) {
            if (parser.getCurrentToken() == System.JSONToken.FIELD_NAME) {
                String ftext = parser.getText();

                if (parser.nextToken() != System.JSONToken.VALUE_NULL) {
                    if (ftext == 'description') {
                        description = parser.getText();
                    } else if (ftext == 'required') {
                        required = parser.getBooleanValue();
                    } else if (ftext == 'text') {

                        this.text = parser.getText();

                         System.debug('This Text: '+this.text);
                         System.debug('Other text: '+text);

                    } else if (ftext == 'type') {
                        type = parser.getText();
                    } else if (ftext == 'id') {
                        id = parser.getText();
                    } else if (ftext == 'value') {
                        value = parser.getText();
                    } else if (ftext == 'options') {
                        options = arrayOfOptions(parser);
                    } else if (ftext == 'prompt') {
                        prompt = parser.getText();

Hi @IrwinHorowitz! I was very confused by this issue at first, but then I realized what's going on.

I think you are using the native Apex class called JSONParser and documented here (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_class_System_JsonParser.htm).

This Github repository is for a custom Apex class with a similar name but it is not the first-party class that Salesforce built.

So sorry grekker. This is where I should be https://github.com/superfell/json2apex/issues. They built an apex class builder for parsing json. http://json2apex.herokuapp.com/ . My apologies again. I'll blame google and my not paying enough attention.
