测试REST端点时的最佳方法

Question

我正在查看以下测试REST端点的代码：

Response response = server.newRequest("/myresource").request().buildPost(Entity.text("42")).invoke();
assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), response.getStatus());
MyModel myModel = response.readEntity(MyModel.class);
assertEquals(42, myModel.getResult());

如下所述：

我想知道最好将响应转换为MyModel对象并对此对象应用测试。我更倾向于这样做：

JSONObject expectedResponse = new JSONObject();
expectedResponse.put("name", "mkyong.com");
expectedResponse.put("age", new Integer(100));

assert(response, expectedResponse);

哪种方法最好？
