How to Query JSON with JSONPath

JSONPath is a powerful query language for JSON, similar to what XPath is for XML. It allows you to pinpoint specific data points within deeply nested structures.

Basic JSONPath Syntax

• $: The root object or element.
• . or []: Child operator.
• ..: Deep scan. Finds objects recursively.
• *: Wildcard. All objects/elements regardless of names.

Examples

• $.store.book[*].author: Returns the authors of all books in the store.
• $..author: Finds all authors regardless of where they are in the document.
