Frequently Asked Questions
A JSON path is a string that identifies the location of a value within a JSON structure. For example, '$.user.name' refers to the 'name' property of the 'user' object. It's similar to how file paths work in a filesystem.
JSON paths are used in many programming languages and tools to access specific values. In JavaScript, you might use lodash's _.get() function. In Python, there's the jsonpath-ng library. Many APIs also accept JSON paths for filtering data.
This tool uses dot notation for object properties ($.user.name) and bracket notation for array indices ($.items[0]). The '$' represents the root of the JSON document.
