Why parse the content youself?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently there is a ContentParser that parses JSON content through 
ConfigurableJsonSlurper. 

Why not to use the Jackson's Parse to do that for you? (through Object Mapper)

Currently there is no way (or I haven't found the way) I can deserialize JSON 
that has unquoted field names ( e.g. {foo : "bar"}) with REST Assured, however 
I can easily do it with new 
ObjectMapper().configure(Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES, true); of Jackson.

Setting configuration should've used my ObjectMapper to deserialize JSON, 
however it is does not.

RestAssured.config = RestAssuredConfig.config().objectMapperConfig(new 
ObjectMapperConfig().jackson2ObjectMapperFactory(
                new Jackson2ObjectMapperFactory() {

                    @Override
                    public ObjectMapper create(Class cls, String charset) {
                        return new ObjectMapper().configure(Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES, true);
                    }
                }
        ));

Hi, 

The reason is that REST Assured uses GPath to traverse the JSON/XML document. 
This is what enables you to do ".. body("x.y.z", equalTo("w"))" etc. You can't 
do that once you've converted the document to a Java structure afaik (at least 
not as easily).

Ps, please ask questions on the mailing list in the future. That way I'll see 
them quicker and it seems like the right forum before entering a new ticket.
