   Hi @nektro

   In the (hopefully) next Hurl version, we intend to work on semantic JSON diff. The implicit assert body is today an "exact" diff (whitespaces included) and we want these two asserts to be identical:

   GET https://foo.com
   HTTP 200
   {
     "id": 2,
     "foo": "bar"
   }

   And

   GET https://foo.com
   HTTP 200
   {
     "foo": "bar",
     "id": 2
   }

   We plan also to add this syntax, if you are only interested in some fields:

   GET https://foo.com
   HTTP 200
   {
     "id": 2,
     "foo": "bar",
     ...
   }

   I think it will cover your case (you can ignore all the remaining items instead of just one). The syntax you propose has the advantage to state that "there should be at least a field named added_on". We'll see what we can do!
