Introduce NON_EXTENSIBLE JSON assertion support in spring-test

Please add a method for JSONCompareMode.NON_EXTENSIBLE to JsonExpectationsHelper in spring-test.

Because: mostly you want to assert that both requests contain exactly the same content and the same fields. But order of elements usually does not matter, as json is nothing other than a HashMap.

That’s simply not possible to assert as of now.

NON_EXTENSIBLE is the correct mode in that case.

What about adding your own spring enum type that resembles to JSONCompareMode? You’re then free of api changes in future with json(String, SpringJsonCompareMode), but give the user the ability to directly chose the desired mode.

Some of them can then delegate to existing json(String, true) and json(String, false), while another delegates explicit to the NON_EXTENSIBLE?

Hey, I strongly suggest this idea since I also found myself looking for a NON_EXTENSIBLE solution in your API but there isn’t an implementation for it at the moment. I hope you can reconsider and reopen this issue.
