Example: $.store.book[*].author

Common JSONPath Patterns

Root object - returns entire JSON

$.store.book[*].author

All book authors - wildcards select all array elements

$..author

Recursive descent - all 'author' fields at any depth

$.store.*

All properties under 'store'

$.store.book[0]

First book - array index

$.store.book[-1]

Last book - negative index

$.store.book[0,2]

First and third books - multiple indices

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

Filter expression - books under $10

$['name','email']

Union operator - multiple properties

Frequently Asked Questions

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to extract specific values from JSON documents using path expressions with wildcards, filters, and array operations.

Use bracket notation: $.items[0] selects the first item, $.items[-1] selects the last, $.items[*] selects all items, and $.items[0,2,4] selects specific indices.

JSONPath supports filters like $[?(@.price < 10)] for items under $10, $[?(@.category == 'books')] for category matches, and $[?(@.inStock)] for truthy checks.

Yes. Use * to match all properties at a level ($.store.*), or .. for recursive descent ($.store..price finds all 'price' fields anywhere under 'store').

The .. operator searches recursively. For example, $..author finds all 'author' fields at any depth in the JSON structure, useful for deeply nested documents.

Yes. All JSONPath evaluation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. Your JSON remains completely private.

$ refers to the root object, while @ refers to the current node in filter expressions. For example, $[?(@.price > 10)] uses @ to reference each item being filtered.

Yes. Use the union operator with comma: $['name','email','phone'] selects multiple fields. The result shows all matching values from the specified paths.

The tool shows 'No matches found' and indicates the path expression didn't match any elements in the JSON. Check the path syntax and verify the structure matches.

Paste the API response JSON, then build your path incrementally. Start with $ to see the root, then add levels like $.data.users[0].name. The live results help you refine the query.
