assertJsonEqual

public void assertJsonEqual(String expected,
 String actual)
                     throws Exception

Parse the expected and actual strings as JSON and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same attribute-value pairs regardless of formatting with lenient checking (extensible content and non-strict array ordering).

Parameters:

expected - the expected JSON content

actual - the actual JSON content

Throws:

Exception

assertJsonEqual

public void assertJsonEqual(String expected,
 String actual,
 boolean strict)
                     throws Exception

Parse the expected and actual strings as JSON and assert the two are "similar" - i.e. they contain the same attribute-value pairs regardless of formatting.

Can compare in two modes, depending on the strict parameter value:

• true: strict checking. Not extensible and strict array ordering.
• false: lenient checking. Extensible and non-strict array ordering.

Parameters:

expected - the expected JSON content

actual - the actual JSON content

strict - enables strict checking if true

Throws:

Exception

public void assertJsonNotEqual(String expected,
 String actual)

actual - the actual JSON content

Throws:

Exception
