Thanks Felix for precise explanation. That helped to understand reason for mismatch.

While order of entries don’t matter is a fair point, I am curious to know the reason behind mismatch. Well, the ordering is an implementation artifact. The JSON component parses the structure and compiles JSON objects into a Java HashMap, which has no order. When that HashMap is displayed, the original order is lost. The Text display does no parsing at all and thus keeps the ordering of the (characters of the) original message.

In Text view the result is shown character for character as it is received. Why is the difference important to you? If you want to assert against JSON result, you should use the JSON assertion, which should work without problems disregard of the displayed order. Same is true for extraction with JSON extractor. I would argue, that ignoring the order in objects/dicts/hashes improves the robustness of the extraction/assertion (and even display) of JSON results.

When I get response I see that JSON representation does not match Text view in ‘View Results Tree’. Attaching both screenshots, the one in Text view is correct while in JSON view, parameter’s sequence gets changed. Not sure what is the reason, can some one please help, how to get both in sync?
