What is JSONPath?

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It lets you navigate and extract data from complex JSON structures using expressions like $.store.book[*].author to select all authors from a bookstore object. This evaluator provides live results, tree view, autocomplete, and filter expression support.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between JSONPath and jq?

JSONPath uses dot notation ($.store.book[0].title) and is commonly used in API testing tools like Postman. jq uses pipe-based syntax (.store.book[0].title) and is a command-line tool for transforming JSON. Both achieve similar goals with different syntax.

How do I filter arrays in JSONPath?

Use filter expressions with ?(): $.store.book[?(@.price < 10)] selects all books cheaper than $10. The @ symbol refers to the current element being evaluated.
