httpBuilder JSON response parse includes [ ]

This may be very obvious so please be gentle.

The following code:

def http = new HTTPBuilder(uri)

http.request(POST,JSON ) { req ->
    headers.'Content-Type' = 'application/json'
    headers.'x-chkp-sid' = CHKPsid
    body = [
            "limit" : 100,
            "offset" : 0,
            "details-level" : "standard"
    ]

    response.success = { resp, json ->
       println (json)
       println "POST Success. SHOWGWS: ${resp.statusLine}"
       println json.objects.name
       println json.size()
       println json.getClass()
     assert json.objects.name == 'gw-6eee89'
    }
}

gives the following output:

[objects:[[uid:892d08fb-0dca-5146-8587-49fa07ece24c, name:gw-6eee89, type:simple-gateway, domain:[uid:41e821a0-3720-11e3-aa6e-0800200c9fde, name:SMC User, domain-type:domain]]], from:1, to:1, total:1]

POST Success. SHOWGWS: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

[gw-6eee89]

It appears to be comparing gw-6eee89 to [gw-6eee89]

I cannot see why the square brackets are not removed when the value is called. Any help much appreciated.

Since objects is an instance of List and if you call list.someProperty you will get a list of someProperty values for all objects on the list:

[[name:1],[name:2]].name == [1, 2]

You need to fetch the first object. So e.g.: objects.name[0].
