      • isNullOrEmpty

        public void isNullOrEmpty()
        Verifies that the actual CharSequence is empty, i.e., it has a length of 0, or is null.

        If you do not want to accept a null value, use isEmpty() instead.

        Both of these assertions will succeed: 

         String emptyString = ""
 assertThat(emptyString).isNullOrEmpty();

 String nullString = null;
 assertThat(nullString).isNullOrEmpty();
        Whereas these assertions will fail: 
         assertThat("a").isNullOrEmpty();

        Specified by:
        isNullOrEmpty in interface EnumerableAssert<SELF extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<SELF,​ACTUAL>,​ACTUAL extends CharSequence>
        Throws:
        AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence has a non-zero length.

        Verifies that the actual CharSequence is empty, i.e., it has a length of 0 and is not null.

        If you want to accept a null value as well as a 0 length, use isNullOrEmpty() instead.

        This assertion will succeed: 

         String emptyString = ""
 assertThat(emptyString).isEmpty();
        Whereas these assertions will fail:

      • containsSequence

        public SELF containsSequence​(Iterable<? extends CharSequence> values)
        Verifies that the actual CharSequence contains all the values of the given Iterable in the Iterable iteration order without any other values between them.

        Breaking change since 2.9.0: in previous versions this assertion behaved like containsSubsequence and allowed other values between the sequence values.

        Example: 

         String book = "{ 'title':'A Game of Thrones', 'author':'George Martin'}";

 // this assertion succeeds
 assertThat(book).containsSequence(asList("'title'", ":", "'A Game of Thrones'"));

 // this assertion will fail because there are values between the expected sequence (e.g "'title':'")
 assertThat(book).containsSequence(asList("{", "A Game of Thrones", "George Martin", "}"));

 // this one fails as "author" must come after "A Game of Thrones"
 assertThat(book).containsSequence(asList("author", "A Game of Thrones"));
        Parameters:
        values - the sequence of charSequence to look for, in order.
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:

      • isXmlEqualTo

        @Deprecated
public SELF isXmlEqualTo​(CharSequence expectedXml)
        Deprecated.
        This assertion has some limitations, for example it does not handle tab vs space and would fail if elements are the same but in a different order.
        The recommended approach is XML Unit which is able to deal with these limitations and provides many more features like XPath support and schema validation.

        Original javadoc:

        Verifies that the actual CharSequence is equal to the given XML CharSequence after both have been formatted the same way.

        Example: 

         String expectedXml =
     "<rings>\n" +
         "  <bearer>\n" +
         "    <name>Frodo</name>\n" +
         "    <ring>\n" +
         "      <name>one ring</name>\n" +
         "      <createdBy>Sauron</createdBy>\n" +
         "    </ring>\n" +
         "  </bearer>\n" +
         "</rings>";

 // No matter how your xml string is formatted, isXmlEqualTo is able to compare it's content with another xml String.
 String oneLineXml = "<rings><bearer><name>Frodo</name><ring><name>one ring</name><createdBy>Sauron</createdBy></ring></bearer></rings>";
 assertThat(oneLineXml).isXmlEqualTo(expectedXml);

 String xmlWithNewLine =
     "<rings>\n" +
         "<bearer>   \n" +
         "  <name>Frodo</name>\n" +
         "  <ring>\n" +
         "    <name>one ring</name>\n" +
         "    <createdBy>Sauron</createdBy>\n" +
         "  </ring>\n" +
         "</bearer>\n" +
         "</rings>";
 assertThat(xmlWithNewLine).isXmlEqualTo(expectedXml);

 // You can compare it with oneLineXml
 assertThat(xmlWithNewLine).isXmlEqualTo(oneLineXml);

 // Tip : use isXmlEqualToContentOf assertion to compare your XML String with the content of an XML file :
 assertThat(oneLineXml).isXmlEqualToContentOf(new File("src/test/resources/formatted.xml"));
        Parameters:
        expectedXml - the XML CharSequence to which the actual CharSequence is to be compared to.
        Returns:
        this assertion object to chain other assertions.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the given CharSequence is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence is null or is not the same XML as the given XML CharSequence.

      • isXmlEqualToContentOf

        @Deprecated
public SELF isXmlEqualToContentOf​(File xmlFile)
        Deprecated.
        Verifies that the actual CharSequence is equal to the content of the given file.

        This is an handy shortcut that calls : isXmlEqualTo(contentOf(xmlFile))

        Example: 
         // You can easily compare your XML String to the content of an XML file, whatever how formatted they are.
 String oneLineXml = "<rings><bearer><name>Frodo</name><ring><name>one ring</name><createdBy>Sauron</createdBy></ring></bearer></rings>";
 assertThat(oneLineXml).isXmlEqualToContentOf(new File("src/test/resources/formatted.xml"));
        Parameters:
        xmlFile - the file to read the expected XML String to compare with actual CharSequence
        Returns:
        this assertion object to chain other assertions.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the given File is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence is null or is not the same XML as the content of given File.

      • isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace

        public SELF isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace​(CharSequence expected)
        Verifies that the actual CharSequence is equal to the given one, ignoring whitespace differences

        Examples : 

         // assertions will pass
 assertThat("Game of Thrones").isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace("Game   of   Thrones")
                              .isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace("  Game of   Thrones  ")

                              .isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace("GameofThrones");

 // assertion will fail
 assertThat("Game of Thrones").isEqualToIgnoringWhitespace("Game OF Thrones");

        This assertion behavior has changed in 2.8.0 to really ignore all whitespaces, the old behaviour has been kept in the better named isEqualToNormalizingWhitespace(CharSequence).
