VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Compare::JSON::Pointer;
use JSON::PP;

sub my_json_test
{
  my($pointer, $json) = @_;
  my @caller = caller;
  Test2::Compare::JSON::Pointer->new(
    file    => $caller[1],
    lines   => [$caller[2]],
    input   => $json,
    pointer => $pointer,
    json    => JSON::PP->new->utf8,
 );
}

DESCRIPTION

This class lets you specify an expected hash or array reference in deep comparison along with the JSON pointer for where to find that reference.

BASE CLASS

Test2::Compare::Base

ATTRIBUTES

pointer

my $string = $cmp->pointer;

The JSON pointer as a string. Something like /foo/bar would point to baz in the json string

{"foo":{"bar":"baz"}}

input

my $string = $cmp->input;

The JSON to be compared against. This should be a regular Perl scalar in Perl's internal format. It will be encoded into UTF-8 before being decoded.

json

my $json = $cmp->json;

The JSON object used for decoding JSON. Any one of JSON::PP, JSON::XS, JSON::MaybeXS or compatible ought to work.
