Question

I am making a call to splunk and then I am trying to use the ResultsReaderJson class to get my results.

InputStream results = jobSavedSearch.getResults();
ResultsReaderJson resultsReader = new ResultsReaderJson(results);

And I keep getting this error.

com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 6

I have no access to the JsonReader from this class. Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do to get around this?

Answer 1

You have not asked for the results stream to return you JSON. The default is XML. To fix this you could use:

Args outputArgs = new Args();
outputArgs.put("output_mode","json");
InputStream results = jobSavedSearch.getResults(outputArgs);
