Constructor Detail

JsonPathResultMatchers

protected JsonPathResultMatchers(String expression,
                                 Object... args)

Protected constructor.

Use MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath(String, Object...) or MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath(String, Matcher).

Parameters:

expression - the JsonPath expression; never null or empty

args - arguments to parameterize the JsonPath expression with, using formatting specifiers defined in String.format(String, Object...)

Method Detail

value

public <T> ResultMatcher value(org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> matcher)

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert the resulting value with the given Hamcrest Matcher.

value

public ResultMatcher value(Object expectedValue)

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that the result is equal to the supplied value.

exists

public ResultMatcher exists()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that a non-null value exists at the given path.

If the JSON path expression is not definite, this method asserts that the value at the given path is not empty.

doesNotExist

public ResultMatcher doesNotExist()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that a value does not exist at the given path.

If the JSON path expression is not definite, this method asserts that the value at the given path is empty.

isEmpty

public ResultMatcher isEmpty()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that an empty value exists at the given path.

For the semantics of empty, consult the Javadoc for ObjectUtils.isEmpty(Object).

Since:

4.2.1

isNotEmpty(), exists(), doesNotExist()

isNotEmpty

public ResultMatcher isNotEmpty()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that a non-empty value exists at the given path.

For the semantics of empty, consult the Javadoc for ObjectUtils.isEmpty(Object).

Since:

4.2.1

isEmpty(), exists(), doesNotExist()

isString

public ResultMatcher isString()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that the result is a String.

Since:

4.2.1

isBoolean

public ResultMatcher isBoolean()

Since:

4.2.1

isArray

public ResultMatcher isArray()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that the result is an array.

isMap

public ResultMatcher isMap()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that the result is a Map.

Since:

4.2.1
