usage
Your scalatest spec should extend or import JsonMatchers
class ExampleSpec extends FunSpec with Matchers with JsonMatchers {
describe("JsonMatchers usage") {
it("should pass matching json with different spacing and order") {
val input = """
|{
| "some": "valid json",
| "plus": ["json", "content"]
|}
""".stripMargin
val expected = """
|{
| "plus": ["json", "content"],
| "some": "valid json"
|}
""".stripMargin
input should matchJson(expected)
}
it("should fail on slightly different json explaining why") {
val input = """
|{
| "someField": "valid json"
|}
""".stripMargin
val expected = """
|{
| "someField": "different json"
|}
""".stripMargin
input should matchJson(expected)
//
// Fails
//
// Json did not match {
// "someField": "valid json"
// } did not match {
// "someField": "different json"
// }
//
// Json Diff:
// someField
// Expected: different json
// got: valid json
}
}
}
For Jsoniter Scala the data structures and corresponding codec shall be defined, eg.:
import com.github.plokhotnyuk.jsoniter_scala.core.JsonValueCodec
import com.github.plokhotnyuk.jsoniter_scala.macros.JsonCodecMaker
case class Data(some: String, plus: Seq[String])
implicit val codec: JsonValueCodec[Data] = JsonCodecMaker.make
Please find a complete example here.
Golden Test
For the circe module you write a golden test that encodes and decodes a model, checking that it matches a golden example json.
it("can compare json and a model") {
case class Foo(sameField: String)
implicit val encoder = Encoder.forProduct1("someField")(Foo.unapply)
implicit val decoder = Decoder.forProduct1("someField")(Foo.apply)
val json = """
|{
| "someField": "valid json"
|}
""".stripMargin
val model = Foo("valid json")
model should matchJsonGolden(json)
}
