Format incoming API data

[Gene Rinaman]

I am pulling in API data from a mongo db via:

new URL("http://apiaddress.internal.com:2017/companies").text

This is bringing in the data in the following format:

{"companies":[{"name":"CompanyA","domains":["companya.com"]},{"name":"CompanyB","domains":["companyb-test.com","companyb.com","cb.com"]},

I would like to populate a select list with just the company names.  

I'm using Scriptrunner and JIRA 7.5.4 on-premise

Usually, the format you mentioned is JSON in string format, and you need to parse that string to real JSON.

Then you will be able in ScriptRunner groovy to extract from that JSON the exact data you want.
