If the two fields are at the same hierarchical level then you may be out of luck.

It looks like you are already using the case=convert option to deal with the _id element. Do you have other elements that require you to use case=convert ? If not then switch to case=any and add allowextra=yes and it might work.

Hi,

I need to parse an incoming JSON string which has a field name "_id" and
another field name "id" among other fields.

I have defined only "id" in my data structure and am using
"allowextra=yes", hoping that it will ignore the field "_id". But my "id"
field gets populated with the value of "_id" field.

Is there any way I can get what I need without changing the incoming string?

TIA
Vinay
