0.4.0

Breaking changes

• As of version 0.4.0, json-fuzzy-match no longer depends on Karate. Now the json-fuzzy-match uses its own parser to parse JSON match patterns. Because of this, there are some breaking changes:
  • Lenient JSON syntax is no longer supported. Both pattern and actual value must be a valid JSON string.
  • The following complex matchers are no longer supported.
    • Optional fields, e.g. ##number
    • #? EXPR: self-validation expressions
    • #(EXPR): embedded expressions
    • Using expression in advanced array validation, e.g. #[]? _.length == 3

• Error message of AssertionError has changed. Now IntelliJ IDEA will show a <Click to see difference> link to compare actual and pattern value side-by-side. Note that both actual and pattern value is pretty-formatted in the error message.
• Now #uuid marker requires just 36 characters.

New features

• New pattern markers #date and #datetime are available:
  • #date matches ISO 8601 date string, e.g. 2020-07-23.
  • #datetime matches ISO 8601 datetime string with timezone, e.g. 2020-07-23T14:56:11+09:00.
