assertJsonEqual

public void assertJsonEqual(java.lang.String expected,
                            java.lang.String actual)
                     throws java.lang.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 a lenient checking (extensible, and non-strict array ordering).

Parameters:

actual - the actual JSON content

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

assertJsonEqual

public void assertJsonEqual(java.lang.String expected,
                            java.lang.String actual,
                            boolean strict)
                     throws java.lang.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 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

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

public void assertJsonNotEqual(java.lang.String expected,
                               java.lang.String actual)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Parse the expected and actual strings as JSON and assert the two are "not similar" - i.e. they contain different attribute-value pairs regardless of formatting with a lenient checking (extensible, and non-strict array ordering).

Parameters:

expected - the expected JSON content

actual - the actual JSON content

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
