Docs at https://github.com/dfilatov/jspath:
expressions always return an array;

XXX we may not necessarily want to continue using these in the future.
This is just for compatibility with what the previous API returned.

The old AWS SDK used to be all XML-based, which means we have this ugly parser stuff. We can remove all that now and access the JSON data directly, but note that this will have to be added to each TurkServer.mturk call as in the example code above.

return JSPath.apply("..GetAccountBalanceResult.AvailableBalance.Amount[0]", result);
case "GetAssignment":
return JSPath.apply("..Assignment[0]", result);
case "GetAssignmentsForHIT":
return JSPath.apply("..GetAssignmentsForHITResult", result);
case "GetHIT":
return JSPath.apply("..HIT[0]", result);
case "GetReviewableHITs":
return JSPath.apply("..GetReviewableHITsResult", result);
case "RegisterHITType":
return JSPath.apply("..HITTypeId[0]", result);
case "SearchHITs":
return JSPath.apply("..SearchHITsResult", result);
}
const endpoint = TurkServer.config.mturk.sandbox
? "https://mturk-requester-sandbox.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
: "https://mturk-requester.us-east-1.amazonaws.com";

return result;
TurkServer.mturk = new AWS.MTurk({ endpoint });
}
