Please I could use any help with this problem.. I am using JsonDiffer
GitHub - aminm-net/JsonDiffer.Netstandard: A lightweight utility to compare JSON objects and hence practically any serialize-able entity[
^]
to compare two json. The two Json is the same and comes from the same API call. I am using just applying the Json to map to objects and the Deserializing it and serializing and stored as expected. Then I am using IRestResponse and getting string json that is my acutal. After that I am using JsonDiff I get the Json are different.. I do not understand why. Please take a look at all the info below I have provided everything to get a clear picture. Thank you :)
//Here is my method for comparison
public class JsonHelper<TModel>
{
public static void ValidateTwoEqualJsonContent(IRestResponse response, TModel modelobj)
{
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TModel>(response.Content);
string expected = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
var acutal = response.Content;
var a = JToken.Parse(expected);
var b = JToken.Parse(acutal);
JToken res = JsonDifferentiator.Differentiate(a, b);
string result = "";
if (res != null)
result = res.ToString();
Assert.IsTrue(res == null, "Differerence of expected and actual are: " + result);
}
}
//Json response
