Rest-assured. Is it possible to extract JSONObject/JSONArray from response json?

Question

I'm Using RestAssured, and i'm getting the response like this-

 {
 "Data": {
 "Sub": {
 "SubDetails": [
 {
 "OrgId": 5,
 "SubId": 1,
 "SubName": "Mathematics"
 }
 ]
 }
 },
 "RawData": {
 "Url": "http://localhost:11111/cases/case-15",
 "Type": "Rest",
 "Request": {
 "Details": {
 "OrganizationId": 5,
 "Student": {
 "Age": 30,
 "Religion": "Hindu",
 "StudentId": 10
 }
 }
 },
 "Response": {
 "SmartReturnObject": {
 "Subject": [
 {
 "SubjectId": 1,
 "SubjectName": "Mathematics"
 }
 ],
 "OrganizationId": 5
 }
 },
 "IsApiError": false
 },
 "SessionId": "5q0",
 "RequestUniqueId": "4543534",
 "StatusCode": "4540000",
 "StatusMessage": "Success",
 "DataSource": "DD"
 } 

Now i need to extract the Data object separate and RawData separate but I failed.
I tried with JSONPath also but not getting it in JSON format.
I tried

 JsonPath body= response.jsonPath();
 Object value=body.get("Data");
 System.out.println("Value is-"+value); 

and getting it like this - {Sub={SubDetails=[{OrgId=5, SubId=1, SubName=Mathematics}]}}
I want the response as instanceof JSONObject or JSONArray type.Response can be dynamic like JSONObject or JSONArray can be at any place.

• demouser123: What are you expecting to get?
• Upkar Singh: I want to get Data object and RawData object separately from response, in instanceof JSONObjector JSONArray type (in whatever format response is)
• PDHide: Why do you want to do that? if you want to send that response using the next request then you can just reuse the string.
• Upkar Singh: Actually, I need to dynamically traverse the complete JSON and then i have to match it with other Expected JSON, so that i can identify that at which placea any Key Value pair or any structure is different from expected one.

Why is this not an option?

JsonPath resJson= new JsonPath(response);
JsonPath referrenceJson= new JsonPath(jsonTOCompare);
Assert.assertEquals(resJson.get("fields"), referrenceJson.get("fields"));

• Upkar Singh: Because i want to compare each property, and if any mismatch happen then i need to know that whether key not matched or any value not matched. Also some time i got the scenario like i need to ignore the some property during compare.
• PDHide: Could you provide a real example of what you tried to achieve but failed? Something that you think it will not work with the suggested solution?
• PDHide: you can edit the question add something like i wanted to compare {a:1} with [{a:2}] . Tried suggested answer but got this error
• Upkar Singh: I need to compare the response json to json coming from .json file, by using your way i can't do that until i will not get the response in instance of JSONObject or JSONArray.
