public InternalMatcher(Object actual,
                       Path path,
                       String description,
                       Configuration configuration)
```
- Method Detail
  - whenIgnoringPaths
```
public InternalMatcher whenIgnoringPaths(String... pathsToBeIgnored)
```
  - describedAs
```
public InternalMatcher describedAs(String description)
```
    Sets the description of this object.
  - withIgnorePlaceholder
```
public InternalMatcher withIgnorePlaceholder(String ignorePlaceholder)
```
    Sets the placeholder that can be used to ignore values. The default value is ${json-unit.ignore}
  - withTolerance
```
public InternalMatcher withTolerance(double tolerance)
```
    Sets the tolerance for floating number comparison. If set to null, requires exact match of the values. For example, if set to 0.01, ignores all differences lower than 0.01, so 1 and 0.9999 are considered equal.
  - withTolerance
```
public InternalMatcher withTolerance(BigDecimal tolerance)
```
    Sets the tolerance for floating number comparison. If set to null, requires exact match of the values. For example, if set to 0.01, ignores all differences lower than 0.01, so 1 and 0.9999 are considered equal.
  - withMatcher
```
public InternalMatcher withMatcher(String matcherName,
                                   org.hamcrest.Matcher<?> matcher)
```
    Adds a internalMatcher to be used in ${json-unit.matches:matcherName} macro.
  - withDifferenceListener
```
public InternalMatcher withDifferenceListener(DifferenceListener differenceListener)
```
  - withOptions
```
public InternalMatcher withOptions(Option firstOption,
                                   Option... otherOptions)
```
    Sets options changing comparison behavior. This method has to be called before assertion. For more info see Option
    
    Parameters:
    
    firstOption -
    
    otherOptions -
    
    See Also:
    
    Option
  - when
```
public final <T> InternalMatcher when(ConfigurationWhen.PathsParam object,
                                      ConfigurationWhen.ApplicableForPath... actions)
```
    Sets advanced/local options. This method has to be called before assertion. For more info see Configuration.when(PathsParam, ApplicableForPath...)
    
    Parameters:
    
    object -
    
    actions -
    
    See Also:
    
    Configuration.when(PathsParam, ApplicableForPath...)
  - isEqualTo
```
public void isEqualTo(Object expected)
```
  - isStringEqualTo
```
public void isStringEqualTo(String expected)
```
    Fails if the selected JSON is not a String or is not present or the value is not equal to expected value.
  - isNotEqualTo
```
public void isNotEqualTo(Object expected)
```
    Fails if compared documents are equal. The expected object is converted to JSON before comparison. Ignores order of sibling nodes and whitespaces.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expected -
  - hasSameStructureAs
```
public void hasSameStructureAs(Object expected)
```
    Compares JSON structure. Ignores values, only compares shape of the document and key names. Is too lenient, ignores types, prefer IGNORING_VALUES option instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expected -
  - node
```
public InternalMatcher node(String newPath)
```
    Creates an assert object that only compares given node. The path is denoted by JSON path, for example. assertThatJson("{\"root\":{\"test\":[1,2,3]}}").node("root.test[0]").isEqualTo("1");
    
    Parameters:
    
    newPath -
    
    Returns:
    
    object comparing only node given by path.
  - isAbsent
```
public void isAbsent()
```
    Fails if the node exists.
  - isPresent
```
public void isPresent()
```
    Fails if the node is missing.
  - isPresent
```
public void isPresent(String expectedValue)
```
  - isArray
```
public InternalMatcher.ArrayMatcher isArray()
```
    Fails if the selected JSON is not an Array or is not present.
    
    Returns:
  - assertType
```
public Node assertType(Node.NodeType type)
```
  - isObject
```
public void isObject()
```
    Fails if the selected JSON is not an Object or is not present.
  - isString
```
public void isString()
```
    Fails if the selected JSON is not a String or is not present.
  - isNull
```
public void isNull()
```
  - isNotNull
```
public void isNotNull()
```
  - failOnType
```
public void failOnType(Node node,
                       String expectedType)
```
  - matches
```
public void matches(org.hamcrest.Matcher<?> matcher)
```
    Matches the node using Hamcrest matcher.
    
    Numbers are mapped to BigDecimal
    
    Arrays are mapped to a Collection
    
    Objects are mapped to a map so you can use json(Part)Equals or a Map matcher
    Parameters:
    
    matcher -
