Library created for testing JSON against patterns. The goal was to be able to validate JSON focusing only on parts essential in given test case so tests are more expressive and less fragile. It can be used with both unit tests and functional tests.
When used with Gherkin driven BDD tests it makes scenarios more compact and readable. See Gherkin example Contests Installation Basic usage Available patterns Gherkin example License Credits Installation Basic usage
