JSON Equality Matching Rule

JSON Equality Matching Rules determine whether two JSON values are equivalent using a custom set of rules.

It is possible to select which JSON fields should be used for matching as well as whether those fields, if they are strings, should be normalized first by trimming white space and/or ignoring case differences.

Parent

The JSON Equality Matching Rule object inherits from Schema Provider.

JSON Equality Matching Rule properties

You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see Property value substitution.
