Ignore Field in json in assert operation

Question

I'm trying to write a MUNIT test case for mule service and want to ignore a field having timestamp. Currently, i'm using below code to perform the compare.

org.skyscreamer.jsonassert.JSONAssert.assertEquals(getResource('json/item-locations.json').asString(), payload, false);

I want to ignore field "creationDateTime" which is available in my json message.

Just delete the field from the message before comparing it. If you want to make sure it's actually there, then replace it with a constant value, but only if it exists.

No, we cannot delete the field. there needs to be some way to ignore the field while comparing. – Piyush Singh Mar 01 '19 at 17:37
Why can’t you delete it? Will something bad happen? – Willis Blackburn Mar 08 '19 at 03:56
