How to filter JSON document using XQuery?

I have the following JSON document assigned to a variable as $node:

{ "b": "value",
  "c1": 1,
  "c2": 2,
  "d": "",
  "e": ""
}

I don't know how to get each single node. I tried as $node//node(). But not getting each single node. I need to query this JSON document to skip the empty nodes & insert into the Marklogic DB, which is mentioned as below:

{ "b": "value", "c1": 1, "c2": 2 }

I am new to handle JSON document, kindly help.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Not sure if this matches your needs well, but something like this would work:

    let $node := xdmp:unquote('
  { "b": "value",
    "c1": 1,
    "c2": 2,
    "d": "",
    "e": ""
  }
')/node()
return xdmp:to-json(map:new((
  for $property in $node/node()
  where string-length(string($property)) > 0
  return
    map:entry(name($property), data($property))
)))

    HTH!
