public SELF as(Description description)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractAssert
    
    Sets the description of the assertion that is going to be called after.
    You must set it before calling the assertion otherwise it is ignored as the failing assertion breaks the chained call by throwing an AssertionError.
    This overloaded version of "describedAs" offers more flexibility than the one taking a String by allowing users to pass their own implementation of a description. For example, a description that creates its value lazily, only when an assertion failure occurs.
    
    Specified by:
    
    as in interface Descriptable<SELF extends AbstractObjectAssert<SELF,ACTUAL>>
    
    Overrides:
    
    as in class AbstractAssert<SELF extends AbstractObjectAssert<SELF,ACTUAL>,ACTUAL>
    
    Parameters:
    
    description - the new description to set.
    
    Returns:
    
    this object.

public SELF as(String description,
               Object... args)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractAssert
    Sets the description of the assertion that is going to be called after.
    You must set it before calling the assertion otherwise it is ignored as the failing assertion breaks the chained call by throwing an AssertionError.
    The description follows String.format(String, Object...) syntax.
    Example :
```
 try {
   // set a bad age to Mr Frodo which is really 33 years old.
   frodo.setAge(50);
   // specify a test description (call as() before the assertion !), it supports String format syntax.
   assertThat(frodo.getAge()).as("check %s's age", frodo.getName()).isEqualTo(33);
 } catch (AssertionError e) {
   assertThat(e).hasMessage("[check Frodo's age] expected:<[33]> but was:<[50]>");
 }
```
    Specified by:
    
    as in interface Descriptable<SELF extends AbstractObjectAssert<SELF,ACTUAL>>
    
    Overrides:
    
    as in class AbstractAssert<SELF extends AbstractObjectAssert<SELF,ACTUAL>,ACTUAL>
    
    Parameters:
    
    description - the new description to set.
    
    args - optional parameter if description is a format String.
    
    Returns:
    
    this object.
    
    See Also:
    
    Descriptable.describedAs(String, Object...)
  - isEqualToIgnoringNullFields
```
public SELF isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(Object other)
```
    Asserts that the actual object is equal to the given one by comparing actual's properties/fields with other's not null properties/fields only (including inherited ones).
    It means that if an actual field is not null and the corresponding field in other is null, this field will be ignored in comparison, but the opposite will make assertion fail (null field in actual, not null in other) as the field is used in the performed comparison and the values differ.
    Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.
    If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.
    Private fields are used in comparison but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are compared, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.
    The objects to compare can be of different types but the properties/fields used in comparison must exist in both, for example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected other object to also have one.
    Example:
```
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter mysteriousHobbit = new TolkienCharacter(null, 33, HOBBIT);

 // Null fields in other/expected object are ignored, the mysteriousHobbit has null name thus name is ignored
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(mysteriousHobbit); // OK

 // ... but this is not reversible !
 assertThat(mysteriousHobbit).isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(frodo); // FAIL
```
    Parameters:
    
    other - the object to compare actual to.
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the actual or other object is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual and the given object are not lenient equals.
    
    IntrospectionError - if one of actual's field to compare can't be found in the other object.
  - isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields
```
public SELF isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(Object other,
                                              String... propertiesOrFieldsUsedInComparison)
```
    Asserts that the actual object is equal to the given one using a property/field by property/field comparison on the given properties/fields only (fields can be inherited fields or nested fields). This can be handy if equals implementation of objects to compare does not suit you.
    Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.
    If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.
    Private fields are used in comparison but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are compared, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.
    The objects to compare can be of different types but the properties/fields used in comparison must exist in both, for example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected the other object to also have one.
    Example:
```
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter sam = new TolkienCharacter("Sam", 38, HOBBIT);

 // frodo and sam both are hobbits, so they are equals when comparing only race
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "race"); // OK

 // they are also equals when comparing only race name (nested field).
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "race.name"); // OK

 // ... but not when comparing both name and race
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "name", "race"); // FAIL
```
    Parameters:
    
    other - the object to compare actual to.
    
    propertiesOrFieldsUsedInComparison - properties/fields used in comparison.
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the actual or other is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual and the given objects are not equals property/field by property/field on given fields.
    
    IntrospectionError - if one of actual's property/field to compare can't be found in the other object.
    
    IntrospectionError - if a property/field does not exist in actual.
  - isEqualToIgnoringGivenFields
```
public SELF isEqualToIgnoringGivenFields(Object other,
                                         String... propertiesOrFieldsToIgnore)
```
    Asserts that the actual object is equal to the given one by comparing their properties/fields except for the given ones (inherited ones are taken into account). This can be handy if equals implementation of objects to compare does not suit you.
    Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the property/field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.
    If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.
    Private fields are used in comparison but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are compared, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.
    The objects to compare can be of different types but the properties/fields used in comparison must exist in both, for example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected the other object to also have one.
    Example:
```
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter sam = new TolkienCharacter("Sam", 38, HOBBIT);

 // frodo and sam are equals when ignoring name and age since the only remaining field is race which they share as HOBBIT.
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToIgnoringGivenFields(sam, "name", "age"); // OK

 // ... but they are not equals if only age is ignored as their names differ.
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToIgnoringGivenFields(sam, "age"); // FAIL
```
    Parameters:
    
    other - the object to compare actual to.
    
    propertiesOrFieldsToIgnore - ignored properties/fields to ignore in comparison.
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the actual or given object is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual and the given objects are not equals property/field by property/field after ignoring given fields.
    
    IntrospectionError - if one of actual's property/field to compare can't be found in the other object.
  - hasNoNullFieldsOrProperties
```
public SELF hasNoNullFieldsOrProperties()
```
    Asserts that the actual object has no null fields or properties (inherited ones are taken into account).
    If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.
    Private fields are checked, but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are checked, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.
    Example:
```
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter sam = new TolkienCharacter("Sam", 38, null);

 // assertion succeeds since all frodo's fields are set
 assertThat(frodo).hasNoNullFieldsOrProperties();

 // assertion fails because sam does not have its race set
 assertThat(sam).hasNoNullFieldsOrProperties();
```
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
    
    AssertionError - if some fields or properties of the actual object are null.

    Private fields are checked, but this can be disable using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disable only accessible fields values are checked, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.
    Example:
```
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter(null, null, null);
 TolkienCharacter sam = new TolkienCharacter("sam", null, null);

 // assertion succeeds since all frodo's fields are null
 assertThat(frodo).hasAllNullFieldsOrProperties();

 // assertion fails because sam has its name set
 assertThat(sam).hasAllNullFieldsOrProperties();
```
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object is null.

  - isEqualToComparingFieldByField
```
public SELF isEqualToComparingFieldByField(Object other)
```
    Asserts that actual object is equal to the given object based on a property/field by property/field comparison (including inherited ones). This can be handy if equals implementation of objects to compare does not suit you.
    Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.

    The objects to compare can be of different types but the properties/fields used in comparison must exist in both, for example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected the other object to also have one.
    Example:
```
 // equals not overridden in TolkienCharacter
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter frodoClone = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

                                         String... propertiesOrFields)
```
    Allows to set a specific comparator to compare properties or fields with the given names. A typical usage is for comparing double/float fields with a given precision.
    Comparators specified by this method have precedence over comparators added by usingComparatorForType(java.util.Comparator<? super T>, java.lang.Class<T>).
    The comparators specified by this method are only used for field by field comparison like isEqualToComparingFieldByField(Object).
    When used with isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(Object), the fields/properties must be specified from the root object, for example if Foo class as a Bar field and Bar class has an id, to set a comparator for Bar's id use "bar.id".
    Example:
```
 public class TolkienCharacter {
   private String name;
   private double height;
   // constructor omitted
 }
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 1.2);
 TolkienCharacter tallerFrodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 1.3);
 TolkienCharacter reallyTallFrodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 1.9);

 Comparator<Double> closeEnough = new Comparator<Double>() {
   double precision = 0.5;
   public int compare(Double d1, Double d2) {
     return Math.abs(d1 - d2) <= precision ? 0 : 1;
   }
 };

 // assertions will pass
 assertThat(frodo).usingComparatorForFields(closeEnough, "height")
                  .isEqualToComparingFieldByField(tallerFrodo);

 assertThat(frodo).usingComparatorForFields(closeEnough, "height")

                  .isEqualToComparingFieldByField(reallyTallFrodo);
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the type of values to compare.
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - the Comparator to use
    
    propertiesOrFields - the names of the properties and/or fields the comparator should be used for

```
    Allows to set a specific comparator to compare properties or fields with the given type. A typical usage is for comparing fields of numeric type at a given precision.
    Comparators specified by usingComparatorForFields(java.util.Comparator<T>, java.lang.String...) have precedence over comparators specified by this method.
    The comparators specified by this method are only used for field by field comparison like isEqualToComparingFieldByField(Object).

```
    If multiple compatible comparators have been registered for a given type, the closest in the inheritance chain to the given type is chosen in the following order:
    1. The comparator for the exact given type
    2. The comparator of a superclass of the given type
    3. The comparator of an interface implemented by the given type
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the type of objects that the comparator should be used for
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - the Comparator to use
    
    type - the Class of the type the comparator should be used for

    this assertions object
  - hasFieldOrProperty
```
public SELF hasFieldOrProperty(String name)
```
    Asserts that the actual object has the specified field or property.

                  .hasFieldOrProperty("age"); // private field are matched by default

 // assertions will fail :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("not_exists");
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty(null);
 // disable looking for private fields

```
    Parameters:
    
    name - the field/property name to check
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if name is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object has not the given field/property
  - hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue
```
public SELF hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue(String name,
                                        Object value)
```
    Asserts that the actual object has the specified field or property with the given value.
    Private fields are matched by default but this can be changed by calling Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).
    If you are looking to chain multiple assertions on different properties in a type safe way, consider chaining returns(Object, Function) calls.
    Example:
```
 public class TolkienCharacter {
   private String name;
   private int age;
   // constructor omitted

   public String getName() {
     return this.name;
   }
 }

 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33);
 TolkienCharacter noname = new TolkienCharacter(null, 33);

 // assertions will pass :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("name", "Frodo");
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("age", 33);
 assertThat(noname).hasFieldOrProperty("name", null);

 // assertions will fail :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("name", "not_equals");
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty(null, 33);
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("age", null);
 assertThat(noname).hasFieldOrProperty("name", "Frodo");
 // disable extracting private fields
 Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false);
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("age", 33); 
```
    Parameters:
    
    name - the field/property name to check
    
    value - the field/property expected value
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if name is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object has not the given field/property
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object has the given field/property but not with the expected value

  - extracting
```
public AbstractListAssert<?,List<? extends Object>,Object,ObjectAssert<Object>> extracting(String... propertiesOrFields)
```
    Extracts the values of given fields/properties from the object under test into a list, this new list becoming the object under test.
    If you extract "id", "name" and "email" fields/properties then the list will contain the id, name and email values of the object under test, you can then perform list assertions on the extracted values.
    Nested fields/properties are supported, specifying "adress.street.number" is equivalent to get the value corresponding to actual.getAdress().getStreet().getNumber()
    Private fields can be extracted unless you call Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).
    If the object under test is a Map with String keys, extracting will extract values matching the given fields/properties.
    Example:
```
 // Create frodo, setting its name, age and Race (Race having a name property)
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

 // let's verify Frodo's name, age and race name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("name", "age", "race.name")
                  .containsExactly("Frodo", 33, "Hobbit");
```
    A property with the given name is looked for first, if it doesn't exist then a field with the given name is looked for, if the field is not accessible (i.e. does not exist) an IntrospectionError is thrown.
    Note that the order of extracted values is consistent with the order of the given property/field.
    Parameters:
    
    propertiesOrFields - the properties/fields to extract from the initial object under test
    
    Returns:
    
    a new assertion object whose object under test is the list containing the extracted properties/fields values
    
    Throws:
    
    IntrospectionError - if one of the given name does not match a field or property
  - extracting
```
public AbstractListAssert<?,List<? extends Object>,Object,ObjectAssert<Object>> extracting(Function<? super ACTUAL,Object>... extractors)
```
    Uses the given Functions to extract the values from the object under test into a list, this new list becoming the object under test.
    If the given Functions extract the id, name and email values then the list will contain the id, name and email values of the object under test, you can then perform list assertions on the extracted values.
    Example:
```
 // Create frodo, setting its name, age and Race (Race having a name property)
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

 // let's verify Frodo's name, age and race name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting(TolkienCharacter::getName,
                              character -> character.age, // public field
                              character -> character.getRace().getName())
                  .containsExactly("Frodo", 33, "Hobbit");
```
    Note that the order of extracted values is consistent with the order of given extractor functions.
    Parameters:
    
    extractors - the extractor functions to extract values from the Object under test.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new assertion object whose object under test is the list containing the extracted values
  - extracting
```
public AbstractObjectAssert<?,?> extracting(Function<? super ACTUAL,? extends Object> extractor)
```
    Uses the given Function to extract a value from the object under test, the extracted value becoming the new object under test.
    Note that since the value is extracted as an Object, only Object assertions can be chained after extracting.
    Example:
```
 // Create frodo, setting its name, age and Race
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

 // let's extract and verify Frodo's name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting(TolkienCharacter::getName)
                  .isEqualTo("Frodo");

 // The extracted value being a String, we would like to use String assertions but we can't due to Java generics limitations.
 // The following assertion does NOT compile:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting(TolkienCharacter::getName)
                  .startsWith("Fro");
```
    Parameters:
    
    extractor - the extractor function used to extract the value from the object under test.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new ObjectAssert instance whose object under test is the extracted value

  - isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively
```
public SELF isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(Object other)
```
    Asserts that the object under test (actual) is equal to the given object based on a recursive property/field by property/field comparison (including inherited ones). This can be useful if actual's equals implementation does not suit you. The recursive property/field comparison is not applied on fields having a custom equals implementation, i.e. the overridden equals method will be used instead of a field by field comparison.
    The recursive comparison handles cycles. By default floats are compared with a precision of 1.0E-6 and doubles with 1.0E-15.
    You can specify a custom comparator per (nested) fields or type with respectively usingComparatorForFields(Comparator, String...) and usingComparatorForType(Comparator, Class).
    The objects to compare can be of different types but must have the same properties/fields. For example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected the other object to also have one. If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.
    Example:
```
 public class Person {
   public String name;
   public double height;
   public Home home = new Home();
   public Person bestFriend;
   // constructor with name and height omitted for brevity
 }

 public class Home {
   public Address address = new Address();
 }

 public static class Address {
   public int number = 1;
 }

 Person jack = new Person("Jack", 1.80);
 jack.home.address.number = 123;

 Person jackClone = new Person("Jack", 1.80);
 jackClone.home.address.number = 123;

 // cycle are handled in comparison
 jack.bestFriend = jackClone;
 jackClone.bestFriend = jack;

 // will fail as equals compares object references
 assertThat(jack).isEqualTo(jackClone);

 // jack and jackClone are equals when doing a recursive field by field comparison
 assertThat(jack).isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // any type/field can be compared with a a specific comparator.
 // let's change  jack's height a little bit
 jack.height = 1.81;

 // assertion fails because of the height difference
 // (the default precision comparison for double is 1.0E-15)
 assertThat(jack).isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // this succeeds because we allow a 0.5 tolerance on double
 assertThat(jack).usingComparatorForType(new DoubleComparator(0.5), Double.class)
                 .isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // you can set a comparator on specific fields (nested fields are supported)
 assertThat(jack).usingComparatorForFields(new DoubleComparator(0.5), "height")
                 .isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);
```
    Parameters:
    
    other - the object to compare actual to.
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
    
    AssertionError - if the actual and the given objects are not deeply equal property/field by property/field.
    
    IntrospectionError - if one property/field to compare can not be found.
  - returns
```
public <T> SELF returns(T expected,
                        Function<ACTUAL,T> from)
```
    Verifies that the object under test returns the given expected value from the given Function, a typical usage is to pass a method reference to assert object's property.
    Wrapping the given Function with Assertions.from(Function) makes the assertion more readable.
    Example:
```
 // from is not mandatory but it makes the assertions more readable
 assertThat(frodo).returns("Frodo", from(TolkienCharacter::getName))
                  .returns("Frodo", TolkienCharacter::getName) // no from :(
                  .returns(HOBBIT, from(TolkienCharacter::getRace));
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the expected value type the given method returns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expected - the value the object under test method's call should return.
    
    from - Function used to acquire the value to test from the object under test. Must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    this assertion object.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if given from function is null
  - usingRecursiveComparison
```
public RecursiveComparisonAssert<?> usingRecursiveComparison()
```
    Enable using a recursive field by field comparison strategy when calling the chained isEqualTo assertion.
    Example:
```
 public class Person {
   String name;
   double height;
   Home home = new Home();
 }

 public class Home {
   Address address = new Address();
   Date ownedSince;
 }

 public static class Address {
   int number;
   String street;
 }

 Person sherlock = new Person("Sherlock", 1.80);
 sherlock.home.ownedSince = new Date(123);
 sherlock.home.address.street = "Baker Street";
 sherlock.home.address.number = 221;

 Person sherlock2 = new Person("Sherlock", 1.80);
 sherlock2.home.ownedSince = new Date(123);
 sherlock2.home.address.street = "Baker Street";
 sherlock2.home.address.number = 221;

 // assertion succeeds as the data of both objects are the same.
 assertThat(sherlock).usingRecursiveComparison()
                     .isEqualTo(sherlock2);

 // assertion fails because sherlock.equals(sherlock2) is false.
 assertThat(sherlock).isEqualTo(sherlock2);
```
    The recursive comparison is performed according to the default RecursiveComparisonConfiguration that is:
    - actual and expected objects and their fields were compared field by field recursively even if they were not of the same type, this allows for example to compare a Person to a PersonDto (call withStrictTypeChecking() to change that behavior).
    - overridden equals methods were used in the comparison (unless stated otherwise)
    - these types were compared with the following comparators:
      
      java.lang.Double -> DoubleComparator[precision=1.0E-15]
      
      java.lang.Float -> FloatComparator[precision=1.0E-6]
      
      any comparators previously registered with usingComparatorForType(Comparator, Class)
    Returns:
    
    a new RecursiveComparisonAssert instance
  - usingRecursiveComparison
```
public RecursiveComparisonAssert<?> usingRecursiveComparison(RecursiveComparisonConfiguration recursiveComparisonConfiguration)
```
    Same as usingRecursiveComparison() but allows to specify your own RecursiveComparisonConfiguration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    recursiveComparisonConfiguration - the RecursiveComparisonConfiguration used in the chained isEqualTo assertion.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new RecursiveComparisonAssert instance built with the given RecursiveComparisonConfiguration.
  - newObjectAssert
