Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSONPath?

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to extract specific data from JSON documents using path expressions like $.users[0].name.

How do I use the JSON Path Tester?

Paste your JSON data in the first textarea, enter a JSONPath expression (like $.users[*] or $..name), and click 'Execute Query' to see the results. You can also click on example paths to try them out.

What JSONPath syntax is supported?

This tool supports root ($), dot notation (.property), bracket notation (['property']), array indices ([0]), wildcards ([*]), and recursive descent (..property) operators.

How do I access nested properties?

Use dot notation to chain properties together. For example, $.users[0].address.city accesses the city property nested inside the address object of the first user.

What does the [*] wildcard do?

The [*] wildcard selects all elements in an array. For example, $.users[*] returns the entire users array, allowing you to work with all user objects at once.

What is recursive descent (..)?

The .. operator searches recursively through the entire JSON structure. For example, $..name finds all properties named 'name' at any depth in the document.
