As of version 4.0, mock-http-server is extended to support matching variable, non deterministic content in http requests.

An example of variable content can be a JSON entity. JSON does not specify a fixed order of properties so when serializing JSON the order of the properties can be different from 1 run to the other.

By default mock-http-server does an exact match of http requests, including entities. By using the JsonMatchingFilter the entity will be interpreted as json and the comparison will also be done for json which means different order of properties will not be considered as a difference anymore.

The JsonMatchingFilter implementation depends on jackson-databind dependency. I did not want to pull this dependency in mock-http-server so I created a separate module.

Similar implementations could be developed for XML or other entity formats.
