Structured data (like json, toml, yaml) asserts in trycmd #93

Open epage opened 2 years ago

Building on #92, it'd be great to have structured data handling in trycmd to allow irrelevant details to be glossed over and for smarter wildcards.

We could have feature flags per format.

We probably also want to allow tests to enable which formats should be handled. This would be the structured-data version of text-vs-binary.

We need to allow ways to opt-out of "ignoring the irrelevant details" because things like formatting can be important for people to test.

Most likely, someone will only need a fraction of their structured-data tests to focus on formatting vs the rest focusing on various cases for the content of the data.
