Compare web service response
3
I wanted to know if there are existing tools that lets us compare web service response from 2 different calls (could be 2 different methods with same response structure OR could be call to same method hosted on 2 different endpoints)?
Thanks!

If you just want to check if 2 responses are the same and nothing else,string.Equalsshould be fine

Do you want to compare them for testing? Or you want to compare them in the actually application you are writing.

Make each call with Postman and paste the responses into WinMerge to compare them.

Be more specific about what you want to compare. response? status code? response headers? Almost any file compare tool can be used if you normal theresponsewhatever that means into some string representations. Sort headers by names and values, convert binary to hex strings, etc.

I want to run different set of test cases and call the method and compare the response from 2 endpoints (or 2 different methods under same web service, which has same response structure) for all those cases to see, if there is any difference. At high level, even if I can simply get a true/false kind of output from compare, that should be sufficient. I don't need to know what is different.
