Can the galasa framework bundle the JSONAssert library

[Mark-J-Lawrence]

Background

We want to write particular tests that assert on an actual vs expected JSON structure.

Sometimes we might want to do this strictly (aka keys in a particular order, zero extensibility), but most of the time want to do it non-strictly (any order, ignoring and allowing any additional extensible fields).

You have assertJ, but it doesn't really cut the mustard when asserting on a complex object like JSON. Asserting on JSON is extremely common, so could Galasa bundle a popular JSON library like JSONAssert? It's apache licensed.

Tasks

• Double check licensing
• Check for any security vulnerabilities (maven repository website shows nothing but worth double checking)
• Create dev.galasa wrapper for JSONassert
• Include in dev.galasa.framework
• Documentation - include some examples in Managers that could want to assert on JSON (HTTP)
• Possible rework of unit tests (eg REST API) to assert more strictly on JSON objects
