* Assume that a GET request to "/lotto" returns a JSON response containing:
*
* { "lotto":{
* "lottoId":5,
* "winning-numbers":[2,45,34,23,7,5,3],
* "winners":[{
* "winnerId":23,
* "numbers":[2,45,34,23,3,5]
* },{
* "winnerId":54,
* "numbers":[52,3,12,11,18,22]
* }]
* }}
*
*
* You can verify that the lottoId is equal to 5 like this:
*
* get("/lotto").then().assertThat().body("lotto.lottoId", equalTo(5));
*
*
* You can also verify that e.g. one of the the winning numbers is 45.
*
* get("/lotto").then().assertThat().body("lotto.winning-numbers", hasItem(45));
*
*
* Or both at the same time:
*
* get("/lotto").then().assertThat().body("lotto.lottoId", equalTo(5)).and().body("lotto.winning-numbers", hasItem(45));
*
*
* or a slightly short version:
*
* get("/lotto").then().assertThat().body("lotto.lottoId", equalTo(5), "lotto.winning-numbers", hasItem(45));
*
*
* XML example
*
* Assume that a GET request to "/xml" returns a XML response containing:
*
* <greeting>
* <firstName>John</firstName>
* <lastName>Doe</lastName>
* </greeting>
*
*
*
* You can now verify that the firstName is equal to "John" like this:
*
* get("/xml").then().assertThat().body("greeting.firstName", equalTo("John"));
*
*
* To verify both the first name and last name you can do like this:
*
* get("/xml").then().assertThat().body("greeting.firstName", equalTo("John")).and().body("greeting.lastName", equalTo("Doe"));
*
*
* Or the slightly shorter version of:
*
* get("/xml").then().assertThat().body("greeting.firstName", equalTo("John"), "greeting.lastName", equalTo("Doe"));
*
* Notes
*
* Note that if the response body type is not of type application/xml or application/json you
* cannot use this verification.
*
*
*
* The only difference between the content and body methods are of syntactic nature.
