JSONPath Tester

Test and evaluate JSONPath expressions against your JSON online.

JSONPath reference

Basics

$ → root element
$.store.book → access property
[0] → array index
* → wildcard
..author → recursive descent

Examples

$.store.book[*].title
$..price
$.store.book[?(@.price < 10)]

Filters

?(@.key == value)
?(@.price > 20)

input.json

result.json

About the JSONPath Evaluator

Pull exactly the values you need out of a large JSON document with a JSONPath expression - results update as you type.

🛠️

How to use it

Paste your JSON into the input.json editor, or click Load Sample.
Type a JSONPath expression such as $.store.book[*].author in the query bar.
Matches appear in result.json as you type; click Search to run it again.
Open the JSONPath reference for syntax, filters and examples.

💡

Tips & use cases

Use .. (recursive descent) to find a key at any depth, e.g. $..price.
Filters like $.items[?(@.price < 10)] select array elements by condition.
See the JSONPath cheat sheet for the full syntax.

JSONPath Tester Online

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. Paste your JSON, type an expression such as $.store.book[*].author and this JSONPath evaluator returns every matching value instantly - useful for building queries for API tests, config lookups and data extraction.

JSONPath examples

Results below are for this sample document:

{
  "store": {
    "book": [
      { "category": "reference", "author": "Nigel Rees",
        "title": "Sayings of the Century", "price": 8.95 },
      { "category": "fiction", "author": "Evelyn Waugh",
        "title": "Sword of Honour", "price": 12.99 },
      { "category": "fiction", "author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
        "title": "The Lord of the Rings",
        "isbn": "0-395-19395-8", "price": 22.99 }
    ],
    "bicycle": { "color": "red", "price": 19.95 }
  }
}

Expression	What it selects	Result
`$.store.book[*].author`	All authors	`["Nigel Rees","Evelyn Waugh","J. R. R. Tolkien"]`
`$..price`	Every price anywhere in the document (recursive descent)	`[8.95,12.99,22.99,19.95]`
`$.store.book[0].title`	Title of the first book	`["Sayings of the Century"]`
`$.store.book[-1:]`	Last book (negative slice)	`[{ …"The Lord of the Rings"… }]`
`$.store.book[?(@.price < 10)].title`	Titles of books cheaper than 10 (filter)	`["Sayings of the Century"]`
`$.store.book[?(@.isbn)].title`	Titles of books that have an isbn field	`["The Lord of the Rings"]`
`$.store.book[?(@.category === "fiction" && @.price > 15)].author`	Authors of fiction books over 15 (combined filter)	`["J. R. R. Tolkien"]`
`$.store.*~`	Property names under store	`["book","bicycle"]`

JSONPath FAQ

Which JSONPath implementation does this tester use?

It uses JSONPath-Plus, which supports the standard Goessner syntax plus extras such as ~ for property names and JavaScript-style filter expressions.

How do JSONPath filters work?

A filter [?( )] keeps array items where the expression is true. @ is the current item, so $.store.book[?(@.price < 10)] returns books with a price below 10. Combine conditions with && and ||.

Why is the result always an array?

A JSONPath expression can match any number of values, so results are returned as a list - even when there is only one match.

What's the difference between JSONPath and JMESPath?

JSONPath selects values from a document. JMESPath can also reshape results (projections, functions, multi-select). Try JMESPath in the JSON Search tool or read the JMESPath tutorial.

Is my JSON uploaded to a server?

No. Expressions are evaluated entirely in your browser.
