What is JSONPath?
JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to select and extract specific data from a JSON structure using a standardized expression format. It is widely used in API testing, data scraping, and configuration management.
How to Use:
- Paste your JSON into the input editor below.
- Enter your JSONPath expression in the top input box (e.g.,
$.store.book[*].author). - Click Run or press
Ctrl+Enterto evaluate. - The matching results will appear in the Output panel.
