      public static Map<Object,org.json.JSONObject> arrayOfJsonObjectToMap(org.json.JSONArray array, String uniqueKey)
      Converts the provided JSONArray to a Map of JSONObjects where the key of each object is the value at uniqueKey in each object.
      Parameters:
      array - the JSON array to convert
      uniqueKey - the key to map the JSON objects to
      Returns:
      the map of JSONObjects from array

    • findUniqueKey

      public static String findUniqueKey(org.json.JSONArray expected)
      Searches for the unique key of the expected JSON array.
      Parameters:
      expected - the array to find the unique key of
      Returns:
      the unique key if there's any, otherwise null

    • isUsableAsUniqueKey

      public static boolean isUsableAsUniqueKey(String candidate, org.json.JSONArray array)

      Looks to see if candidate field is a possible unique key across a array of objects. Returns true IFF:

      1. array is an array of JSONObject
      2. candidate is a top-level field in each of of the objects in the array
      3. candidate is a simple value (not JSONObject or JSONArray)
      4. candidate is unique across all elements in the array
      Parameters:
      candidate - is usable as a unique key if every element in the
      array - is a JSONObject having that key, and no two values are the same.
      Returns:
      true if the candidate can work as a unique id across array
