Looking for extra json elements in response payload

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking for a way to check if there are no extra elements in my response payload. 

I do an JSON existing match on all the elements, but also need to check if no extra element is added in the response payload.

 

How can I do this? 

 

Thanks in advance and kind regards

    Well, it would help if you can provide source and target data (need not be exact), at least resembling your data structure.

      For example this is an response payload of a PUT. 

      So if there is an extra element then these two, test should fail.

       

      {
      "ExternalReference": "Testing6",
      "ErrorLog": []
      }

        Is the provided response structure is same as your original response? does it have any recursive? Because, solution would be completely relate to data. If data differs, solution would differ.
