在Golang中对HTTP JSON响应进行单元测试

Question

I am using gin as my http server and sending back an empty array in json as my response:

c.JSON(http.StatusOK, []string{})

The resulting json string I get is "[] ". The newline is added by the json Encoder object, see here.

Using goconvey, I could test my json like

So(response.Body.String(), ShouldEqual, "[]
")

But is there a better way to generate the expected json string than just adding a newline to all of them?

Unmarshal the body into a struct and the use Gocheck's DeepEquals https://godoc.org/launchpad.net/gocheck
