I am trying to test my services using Junit and Mockito. I am able to mock the service and get the response from the Resource class. The response body is having some data of JSON format which is of the object type. I am trying to get the data from the object using ObjectMapper of Jackson library using spring boot.

After long research, I tried the below approach which is automatically converting the invalid JSON to valid JSON.
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
String respData = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(result.getBody());
Map respMap = objectMapper.readValue(respData, Map.class);
Check that you are passing valid JSON string to the parser. As mentioned in the error logs its not valid JSON, Unexpected character ('s' (code 115)): was expecting double-quote to start field name. Or you can add the flag JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES to allow un-quoted field name handling.
I get the same problem. The problem is that this isn't valid JSON . JSON keys are required to be quoted strings. You must quote "statusName", "employees"... change the form until you get all the JSON keys like quoted strings . I hope that it works, bro !
Please check your JSON object for missing or unmatched quotes!
