org.springframework.test.web.client.match.JsonPathRequestMatchers

public class JsonPathRequestMatchers
extends Object

Factory for assertions on the request content using JsonPath expressions.

An instance of this class is typically accessed via MockRestRequestMatchers.jsonPath(String, Matcher) or MockRestRequestMatchers.jsonPath(String, Object...).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
RequestMatcher	doesNotExist() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that a value does not exist at the given path.
RequestMatcher	doesNotHaveJsonPath() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the supplied content and assert that a value, including null values, does not exist at the given path.
RequestMatcher	exists() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that a non-null value exists at the given path.
RequestMatcher	hasJsonPath() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that a value, possibly null, exists.
RequestMatcher	isArray() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is an array.
RequestMatcher	isBoolean() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is a Boolean.
RequestMatcher	isEmpty() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that an empty value exists at the given path.
RequestMatcher	isMap() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is a Map.
RequestMatcher	isNotEmpty() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that a non-empty value exists at the given path.
RequestMatcher	isNumber() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is a Number.
RequestMatcher	isString() Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is a String.
<T> RequestMatcher	value(Matcher<? super T> matcher) Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert the resulting value with the given Hamcrest Matcher.
<T> RequestMatcher	value(Matcher<? super T> matcher, Class<T> targetType) An overloaded variant of value(Matcher) that also accepts a target type for the resulting value that the matcher can work reliably against.
RequestMatcher	value(Object expectedValue) Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request content and assert that the result is equal to the supplied value.

Constructor Detail

JsonPathRequestMatchers

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

Protected constructor.

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

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> RequestMatcher value(Matcher<? super T> matcher)

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

value

public <T> RequestMatcher value(Matcher<? super T> matcher,
                                Class<T> targetType)

An overloaded variant of value(Matcher) that also accepts a target type for the resulting value that the matcher can work reliably against.

This can be useful for matching numbers reliably — for example, to coerce an integer into a double.

value

public RequestMatcher value(Object expectedValue)

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

exists

public RequestMatcher exists()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request 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 RequestMatcher doesNotExist()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request 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.

hasJsonPath

public RequestMatcher hasJsonPath()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the response content and assert that a value, possibly null, exists.

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

Since:

5.0.3

See Also:

exists(), isNotEmpty()

doesNotHaveJsonPath

public RequestMatcher doesNotHaveJsonPath()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the supplied content and assert that a value, including null values, does not exist at the given path.

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

Since:

5.0.3

See Also:

doesNotExist(), isEmpty()

isEmpty

public RequestMatcher isEmpty()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request 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

See Also:

isNotEmpty(), exists(), doesNotExist()

isNotEmpty

public RequestMatcher isNotEmpty()

Evaluate the JSON path expression against the request 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).

isEmpty(), exists(), doesNotExist()

isString

public RequestMatcher isString()

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

Since:

4.2.1

Since:

4.2.1

isArray

public RequestMatcher isArray()

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

isMap

public RequestMatcher isMap()

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