Extract json in an array in Jmeter

Question

How do I extract the json object name from the below json data in Jmeter

[
:   {
:   :   "name":"x",
:   :   "age":"50",
:   :   "gender":"Female"
:   }
]

I am doing this $..name in the JsonPath Extractor which is giving me this in the variable I extracted to

name=["x"]

Is there a way I could just get name=x without the array format

Or is there a way I can extract just the x from ["x"]?

Thanks

Then, try ${name_1} after getting the array with $..name. — Wiktor Stribiżew

@WiktorStribiżew - yeah, using String newName= vars.get("name_1"); in the beanshell post processor is giving me newName as just x but when I am trying to use newName in other requests by passing as ${newName} it is being passed as ${newName} only but not it's value x — user6348718

You may use

 ${name_1}

after getting the array with

$..name

You need to get name attribute from the first object in the array therefore you need to amend your JSON Path expression to look like $[0].name

Using this in a bean shell post processor worked

 String newName = vars.get("name"). replace([","").replace("]","").replace("\"","");
log.info("name is: " +newName);

which gives name is: x
