Rest Assured - compare json response with local json file - json

Question

I have a local json file test.json
[
{
"id": 1,
"title": "test1"
},
{
"id": 2,
"title": "test2"
}
]
Class to read the json file
public static String getFileContent(String fileName){
String fileContent = "";
String filePath = "filePath";
try {
fileContent = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filePath)));
return fileContent;
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}finally{
return fileContent;
}
}
I use rest assured to make the request and get same json response back
String fileContent= FileUtils.getFileContent("test.json");
when().
get("/testurl").
then().
body("", equalTo(fileContent));
This is what I got from local file
[\r\n {\r\n \"id\": 1,\r\n \"title\": \"test1\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"id\": 2,\r\n \"title\": \"test2\"\r\n }\r\n]
This is the actual response:
[{id=1, title=test1}, {id=2, title=test2}]
Is there any better way to compare those two? I try to do something like fileContent.replaceAll("\\r\\n| |\"", ""); but it just removed all the space [{id:1,title:test1},{id:2,title:test2}]
Any help? Or any ways that just compare the content and ignore newline, space and double quote?

You can use any of the following methods
JsonPath :
String fileContent = FileUtils.getFileContent("test.json");
JsonPath expectedJson = new JsonPath(fileContent);
given().when().get("/testurl").then().body("", equalTo(expectedJson.getList("")));
Jackson :
String fileContent = FileUtils.getFileContent("test.json");
String def = given().when().get("/testurl").then().extract().asString();
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode expected = mapper.readTree(fileContent);
JsonNode actual = mapper.readTree(def);
Assert.assertEquals(actual,expected);
GSON :
String fileContent = FileUtils.getFileContent("test.json");
String def = given().when().get("/testurl").then().extract().asString();
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonElement expected = parser.parse(fileContent);
JsonElement actual = parser.parse(def);
Assert.assertEquals(actual,expected);
