When i try to get data from a repeat group, instead of returning an array,
if it's one object it returns a single object instead of an array, for
multiple objects it returns an array.
I think it should return an array in both cases in order to allow parsing
of these objects.
Hi Hikesh,
Can you clarify what you are referring to when you say "get data".
Unfortunately our JSON format doesn't know at submission-time whether
something is a repeat group or a regular group, which is why this behavior
exists. I believe you should be able to use commcare export
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Data+Export+Tool
to normalize the data if you are using the APis.
thanks,
Cory

Hi Cory
We are using data forwarding, when there is a change or submission, data is
forwarded to our web application and we use the CommCare API to parse the
Json. In my perception, the data from a repeat group should be always in an
array.
We are building a parser for the json, and we need to know what kind of
data to parse.
Hi Hikesh,
Understood. Yes, this is not possible to change right now due to the way
that our XML to JSON parsing works. I'd recommend having your endpoint
accommodate either the list or dict format.
thanks,
Cory
