How to insert JSON or XML SOAP response into a MongoDB collection

help
1

I would like to store the results of a SOAP call into a collection. The response is pretty massive and I only actually need a few piece of data from it.

Below is a very small piece of a single results record that I logged using JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) to illustrate the structure

I tried a bunch of random things to get those results (even a full dump) into a collection but any way i tried threw errors

I couldn’t find a sample after a day of googling that would work for me so I thought I’d check here if someone could show me a way to grab certain pieces of this record even when they are several levels deep and insert them into a collection.

Thanks!

I made some progress by looping through the resultset.

Still having a hard time finding a syntax for picking a value I want when I have something like this sitting at the bottom of my structure.

“ID”: [
{ attributes: { ‘js:type’: ‘DID’ },’$value’: ‘04febdf3e00d’ },
{ attributes: { ‘js:type’: ‘Name’ }, ‘$value’: ‘Some Name’ }
]

I can drill down to the $value where type = DID for example by explicitly stating its position in the array
like this grandparent.parent.ID[0].$value but I’d rather not depend on the position never changing.

I’m looking for the correct syntax to get to the $value when type = DID.
