Techs, Frameworks & Libraries

• WebAPI
• EntityFramework - CodeFirst
• Migrations
• MOQ
• NUnit
• LocalDB
• Swagger

Unit test covarage

• Removed repository from data report as all call are mocked using MOQ;
• Report extracted using dotCover.

Exposed endpoints:

• < host >/v1/diff/{id}/left
• < host >/v1/diff/{id}/right
• < host >/v1/diff/{id}

• The property {id} is required and it will be the identifier to track the JSON.
• The JSON must be encoded in base64 binary string and wrapped using double quotes.

Steps to perform a JSON diff:

• Json string encoded as base64 binary should be sent to endpoint sides (left/right) as body:

PUT /v1/diff/{id}/left
"eyJpZCI6IjUwIn0="

PUT /v1/diff/{id}/right
"eyJpZCI6IjEwIn0="

• After two side has ben sent to the endpoints with {id} tracked, you can call the endpoint /v1/diff/{id} using the previous {id}

GET /v1/diff/{id}

• You will recieve results as:

{
    "id": "abc12345",
    "message": "Found 1 differences between jsons",
    "differences": [
        "value from id property changed from 50 to 10"
    ]
}

• As application already has Swagger installed, You can use Swagger as well:
