JSONPath Documentation

JSONPath is a query language for selecting nodes from JSON documents. It was first proposed by Stefan Gössner in 2007. OK JSON uses JSONPath Plus to perform queries under the hood.

Example

{
  "name": "OK JSON",
  "version": "1.0",
  "features": {
    "format": "Format JSON in Pasteboard with keyboard shortcut.",
    "view": "View JSON in tree view with beautiful syntax highlight.",
    "edit": "Edit JSON with capable native editor."
  },
  "themes": [
    "Candy",
    "GitHub",
    "Monokai",
    "Dracula",
    "Sunset",
    "Ayu",
    "DuoTone",
    "Meadow",
    "Raindrop",
    "Visual Studio"
  ]
}

Syntax

JSONPath expressions start with $. indicating the root element.

$.features.format → "Format JSON in Pasteboard with keyboard shortcut."
$.features.* → 
[
  "Format JSON in Pasteboard with keyboard shortcut.",
  "View JSON in tree view with beautiful syntax highlight.", 
  "Edit JSON with capable native editor."
]

# Second element in array
$.themes[1] → "Candy"

# Last element in array
$.themes[-1:] → "Visual Studio"
