Using Rest assured to validate saved JSON response

I have a question regarding REST Assured. - https://code.google.com/p/rest-assured/wiki/Usage

I understand that I can use REST assured to make HTTP calls(.get .put etc.) and validate the response using when() etc. I would like to validate JSON responses that I have already saved in the database, instead of Calling the web service realtime and validating it's response.

Can I use REST-assured to Load a JSON response as a String and validate it?

Yes you can use Rest Assured's JsonPath project independently of Rest Assured (see getting started page). Once you have it in classpath you can do something like this:

JsonPath jsonPath = new JsonPath(<your json as string>);
String title = jsonPath.getString("x.y.title");
