JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to select and extract data from JSON documents using path expressions like $.store.book[0].title.

How do I write JSONPath expressions?

JSONPath expressions start with $ (root), use dot notation for properties ($.user.name), brackets for arrays ($.items[0]), and support wildcards ($.items[*].name) to select multiple elements.

What JSONPath operators are supported?

Common operators include: $ (root), @ (current node), . (child), .. (recursive descent), * (wildcard), [] (array index/slice), and filter expressions [?(@.price < 10)].

Can I test complex JSONPath queries?

Yes! The evaluator supports advanced features including filters, slicing, recursive searches, and multiple selections. Test any JSONPath expression against your JSON data.

What happens if my JSONPath is invalid?

The tool validates your JSONPath expression and displays clear error messages if the syntax is incorrect, helping you debug and fix your queries quickly.
