Integration testing of a REST API - Testing the Json payload in the HTTP response

JsonPayloadTest.java

@Test
public void givenUserExists_whenUserInformationIsRetrieved_thenRetrievedResourceIsCorrect()
      throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
   // Given
   HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet( "https://api.github.com/users/eugenp" );
   
   // When
   HttpResponse response = new DefaultHttpClient().execute( request );
   
   // Then
   GitHubUser resource = 
      RetrieveUtil.retrieveResourceFromResponse( response, GitHubUser.class );
   assertThat( "eugenp", Matchers.is( resource.getLogin() ) );
}
