compare json irrespective of field value in groovy

Question

I have a JSON file that has same fields with different values. Now I have to write a groovy script that compares the two files which will ignore fields value.

e.g

json1 = '{"name" : "abc", "value": "123", "field" : "xyz"}'
json2 = '{"name" : "efg", "value": "567", "field" : "xyz"}'

assert should return true

json1 = '{"value": "123", "field" : "xyz"}'
json2 = '{"name" : "efg", "value": "567", "field" : "xyz"}'

assert should return false

I have try with the following code (from here) and always return false for both case

def slurp1 = new JsonSlurper().parseText(json1)
def slurp2 = new JsonSlurper().parseText(json2)

assert slurp1 == slurp2

If the field positions in the json are consistent use: assert json1 == json2 as in just do a text compare. Why do anything complicated ? — Vanquished Wombat, Sep 08 '17 at 13:14

Can't you just do

slurp1.keySet() == slurp2.keySet()

using keySet() always return true for both scenario. Scenario 2 should return false in my case – J. Doem Sep 08 '17 at 13:10
