current diff result

diffs: [data -> floorList -> JSON ARRAY elements differ at position 1:
{
  "floorTempId" : "-1",
  "pageId" : "3646",
  "identityId" : 0,
  "parentId" : "2",
  "floorList" : [ ],
  "version" : "0"
}
________diffs________
parentId -> 
Expected value: "2" But got: "1"]

Describe the solution you'd like
expect diff result

The property "$.data.floorList[0].parentId" didn't match. Expected 2, Received: 1

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @jk2K ,
I believe this can be done without much effort.
I will implement it in the near future
Cheers

Hi @jk2K ,

Current issue was fixed inside the next json-compare major version 7.0

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.fslev</groupId>
            <artifactId>json-compare</artifactId>
            <version>7.0</version>
        </dependency>

Taking your JSON matching example:

 JSONCompare.assertMatches(expected, actual, new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(CompareMode.JSON_ARRAY_STRICT_ORDER)));

the JSON diffs have changed as follows:

org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: FOUND 1 DIFFERENCE(S):


_________________________DIFF__________________________
$.data.floorList[0].parentId
Expected value: "2" But got: "1"

I hope this approach is more readable.

Cheers,
@fslev
