   Given I send a GET/PUT/POST/DELETE request for "<your_uri>" with the following: 
    """
   <your_payload>
    """

   Then the response should be JSON

   Then the response status code should be '200'

   Then the JSON "<id_of_property>" property equals "<value_of_property>" 

   Then the JSON response header has key "<header_name>" with value of "<header_name>"
