- [parasoft_exclude]
- [exclude]
The null and exclude values are used to shape the response payload. For example, say you have a payload that is parameterized that looks like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
{
"book" : {
"title" : "${title}",
"isbn" : "${isbn}"
}
} |
Normally it would get the title and isbn values from the data repository and create a payload like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
{
"book" : {
"title" : "Best Homemade Cookbook",
"isbn" : "1234-abfh-9876"
}
} |
However, if the isbn value is set to [null] or [parasoft_null] in the data repository, the payload would be:
| Code Block |
|---|
{
"book" : {
"title" : "Best Homemade Cookbook",
"isbn" : null
}
} |
And if the isbn value is set to [exclude] or For details on how [parasoft_exclude] works with URL parameter data source correlations, see Matching on Absent/Empty Fields and Parameters. in the data repository, the payload would be:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

{
"book" : {
"title" : "Best Homemade Cookbook"
}
} |
