SoapUI Groovy parse json

I came across a situation where I had to use groovy scripts in to test some REST endpoints that return JSON responses.

So following is a groovy code snippet which does the following:
1. Import the json parsing library
2. Fetch the JSON response from a test step
3. Parse the JSON response
4. Access properties in the JSON response

	//import library to parse JSON
	import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;
	//get the JSON response from the test step that makes the call to some test step to get a JSON repsonse
	def response = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TestStepName").getPropertyValue("response");
	//parse the json response
	def responseJSON = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response);
	//access the propertyname
	def property = responseJSON.propertyname;
