Validating empty restful response array using restassured

Question

Sometimes GET call is returning [] empty array . I can use .body(size) , but I do not want to use hard assertions.

It can be empty or have an array of objects, so I want to use if condition to make a decision to proceed further based on empty/not empty.

The code is as below:

given().when().get(url).then().body("[0].name",equalTo(value‌​))

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

you can try with the below way

Response res = given().when().get(url);
if(!(res.body().asString().equals("null"))
{
   // do what you want to check or action
}
