That test seems to be testing whether or not the library used to deserialize json works. I don’t think that’s valid unless the code base you are working on is Gson or Jackson or the like. Assuming that’s not the case and you’re interested in the state of two object graphs then you just compare those, not the json string they deserialize to.
