In REST Assured, how can I check if a field is present or not in the response?

How can I make sure that my response, let's say it is in JSON, either contains or does not contain a specific field?

when()
    .get("/person/12345")
.then()
    .body("surname", isPresent()) // Doesn't work...
    .body("age", isNotPresent()); // ...But that's the idea.

I'm looking for a way to assert whether my JSON will contain or not the fields age and surname.

You can use the Hamcrest matcher hasKey() (from org.hamcrest.Matchers class) on JSON strings as well.

when()
    .get("/person/12345")
.then()
    .body("$", hasKey("surname"))
    .body("$", not(hasKey("age")));

Using: import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

Your could then: assertThat(response.then().body(containsString("thingThatShouldntBeHere")), is(false));

You can use equals(null) like this:

.body("surname", equals(null))

If the field does not exists it will be null
