About JSON Path Finder

JSON Path is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to extract specific data from complex JSON structures using a simple path syntax.

Basic Syntax:

  • property - Access a property of an object
  • property1.property2 - Access nested properties
  • array[0] - Access an array element by index
  • property.* - Wildcard to match any property name

Examples:

  • store.book[0].title - Get the title of the first book
  • store.book - Get the entire array of books
  • store.bicycle.color - Get the color of the bicycle

Use Cases:

  • Extract specific data from large JSON responses
  • Navigate complex nested JSON structures
  • Debug and explore JSON data
  • Transform JSON data by extracting only what you need

JSON Path Validation:

  • Paths must start with a valid identifier (letter, underscore, or $)
  • Use dot notation for object properties: user.profile.name
  • Use bracket notation for arrays: users[0] or users[*]
  • Combine notations: store.products[0].attributes.color
  • Wildcards (*) match any property or array index
