expect_json_equivalent

Named lists in R are ordered, but they translate to unordered objects in
JSON. This test expectation loosens the equality check of two objects to
ignore the order of elements in a named list.

Testing and documenting code that communicates with remote servers
can be painful. Dealing with authentication, server state,
and other complications can make testing seem too costly to
bother with. But it doesn't need to be that hard. This package enables one
to test all of the logic on the R sides of the API in your package without
requiring access to the remote service. Importantly, it provides three
contexts that mock the network connection in different ways, as well as
testing functions to assert that HTTP requests were---or were
not---made. It also allows one to safely record real API responses to use as
test fixtures. The ability to save responses and load them offline also
enables one to write vignettes and other dynamic documents that can be
distributed without access to a live server.

expect_json_equivalent function

<dl><dt>object</dt>
<dd>object to test</dd>
<dt>expected</dt>
<dd>expected value</dd>
<dt>info</dt>
<dd>extra information to be included in the message</dd>
<dt>label</dt>
<dd>character name by which to refer to <code>object</code> in the test
result. Because the tools for deparsing object names that 'testthat' uses
aren't exported from that package, the default here is just "object".</dd>
<dt>expected.label</dt>
<dd>character same as <code>label</code> but for <code>expected</code></dd></dl>
