Method Detail

areTwoJsonObjectEquals

public static boolean areTwoJsonObjectEquals(String expectedString,
                                             String toCompare)
                                      throws IOException

Compares two json strings without considering the order of the elements.

Parameters:

expectedString - expected json string

toCompare - string for comparison

Returns:

true if two json string are equals, false otherwise

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

serializeToStream

public static void serializeToStream(OutputStream outputStream,
                                     Object value)

Serializes passed object to provided JSON output stream.

Parameters:

outputStream - stream to which the object will be serialized

value - the object which will be serialized

serializeToString

public static String serializeToString(Object value)

Serializes passed object to JSON string.

Parameters:

value - the object which will be serialized

Returns:

the JSON string representation of passed object or null if it is impossible to serialize to JSON

serializeToMinimalStream

public static void serializeToMinimalStream(OutputStream outputStream,
                                            Object value)
