A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

what do you think about something like

```val parsed=expectThat("""{"abc":"def"}""").isValidJsonFor&lt;MyType&gt;()```

and also
```expectThat("""{"abc":"def"}""").isValidJsonFor&lt;MyType&gt;().get{abc}.isEqualTo("def")```


Yeah, I think I’ve written assertions like that in projects I’m working on

I think the trick there may be that you’ve missed one of the inputs — in Jackson the `ObjectMapper` that may have customizations required to deserialize the type correctly

when i unit test my rest apis i try to use a mapper without any settings. but the mapper could be just passed to the isValidJsonFor() method (and the method renamed)

or there could be a way to configure strikt v2. `val expectThat=strikt(jackson=...)`
