This tool will help you find all available JSONPaths in a JSON document, view them in an object tree, identify the different input expressions and extract the matching piece of JSON data against the input expression.
Path Notation
JSON or JavaScript Object Notation is an open standard file format that uses simple text to store and transmit data objects. Each JSON object has an inherent structure resembling a hierarchy or tree of nodes, where each node is an element. JSONPath is a standard way using which we can navigate through different parts of a JSON object or file. This is helpful when we want to reach a specific subset or element in a JSON file.
Following are few example jsonpath expressions and results for the above sample json data
| JSONPath Expression | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| $ | Select the root element | |
| $.address.city | Select the value of 'city' element which is the direct children of 'address' element | |
| $..type | Select the value of all the 'type' elements in the input json | |
| $.address.length() | Select the length of the 'address' element | |
| $..* | Select all the elements and its value | |
