+Feature: match_json matcher
+
+  As a developer extensively testing my APIs with RSpec
+  I want to have a suitable tool to test my API responses
+  And I want to use simple ruby hashes to describe the parts of response
+  For that I need a custom matcher
+
+  Background:
+    Given a file "spec/spec_helper.rb" with:
+          """ruby
+          require "rspec/json_expectations"
+          """
+      And a local "SIMPLE_JSON" with:
+          """json
+          {
+            "id": 25,
+            "email": "john.smith@example.com",
+            "name": "John"
+          }
+          """
+
+  Scenario: Expecting json string to include simple json
+    Given a file "spec/simple_example_spec.rb" with:
+          """ruby
