assert_json_same/

lib.rs

//! This crate includes macros for comparing two serializable values by diffing their JSON
//! representations. It is designed to give much more helpful error messages than the standard
//! [`assert_eq!`]. It basically does a diff of the two objects and tells you the exact
//! differences. This is useful when asserting that two large JSON objects are the same.
//!
//! It uses the [serde] and [serde_json] to perform the serialization.
//!
//! [serde]: https://crates.io/crates/serde
//! [serde_json]: https://crates.io/crates/serde_json
//! [`assert_eq!`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.assert_eq.html
//!
//! ## Partial matching
//!
//! If you want to assert that one JSON value is "included" in another use
//! [`assert_json_include`](macro.assert_json_include.html):
//!
//! ```should_panic
//! use assert_json_same::assert_json_include;
//! use serde_json::json;
//!
//! let a = json!({
//!     "data": {
//!         "users": [
//!             {
//!                 "id": 1,
//!                 "country": {
//!                     "name": "Denmark"
//!                 }
//!             },
//!             {
//!                 "id": 24,
//!                 "country": {
//!                     "name": "Denmark"
//!                 }
//!             }
//!         ]
//!     }
//! });
//!
//! let b = json!({
//!     "data": {
//!         "users": [
//!             {
//!                 "id": 1,
//!                 "country": {
//!                     "name": "Sweden"
//!                 }
//!             },
//!             {
//!                 "id": 2,
//!                 "country": {
//!                     "name": "Denmark"
//!                 }
//!             }
//!         ]
//!     }
//! });
//!
//! assert_json_include!(actual: a, expected: b)
//! ```
//!
//! This will panic with the error message:
//!
//! ```text
//! json atoms at path ".data.users[0].country.name" are not equal:
//!     expected:
//!         "Sweden"
//!     actual:
//!         "Denmark"
//!
//! json atoms at path ".data.users[1].id" are not equal:
//!     expected:
//!         2
//!     actual:
//!         24
//! ```
//!
//! [`assert_json_include`](macro.assert_json_include.html) allows extra data in `actual` but not in `expected`. That is so you can verify just a part
//! of the JSON without having to specify the whole thing. For example this test passes:
//!
//! ```
//! use assert_json_same::assert_json_include;
//! use serde_json::json;
//!
//! assert_json_include!(
//!     actual: json!({
//!         "a": { "b": 1 },
//!     }),
//!     expected: json!({
//!         "a": {},
//!     })
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! However `expected` cannot contain additional data so this test fails:
//!
//! ```should_panic
//! use assert_json_same::assert_json_include;
//! use serde_json::json;
//!
//! assert_json_include!(
//!     actual: json!({
//!         "a": {},
//!     }),
//!     expected: json!({
//!         "a": { "b": 1 },
//!     })
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! That will print
//!
//! ```text
//! json atom at path ".a.b" is missing from actual
//! ```
//!
//! ## Exact matching
//!
//! If you want to ensure two JSON values are *exactly* the same, use [`assert_json_eq`](macro.assert_json_eq.html).
//!
//! ```rust,should_panic
//! use assert_json_same::assert_json_eq;
//! use serde_json::json;
//!
//! assert_json_eq!(
//!     json!({ "a": { "b": 1 } }),
//!     json!({ "a": {} })
//! )
//! ```
//!
//! This will panic with the error message:
//!
//! ```text
//! json atom at path ".a.b" is missing from lhs
//! ```
//!
//! ## Further customization
//!
//! You can use [`assert_json_matches`] to further customize the comparison.
