Json path syntax

1 JSON Path Description
2 $ The root object/element, all JSON Path usually start with this sign.
3 . Child operator, use this dot to move from parent to child.
4 [] Using these braces, include with the index to access the elements of an array. Note: index of array start from 0
5 * Wildcard. All objects/elements regardless their names.
6 .. Recursive descent
7 @ Indicate the current object, element
8 ?() Apply a filter (script) expression

Now, I will show with you guys some examples: 1.
Following the above Json example, I want to get name is "Zack" and age is 30 : So, my Json path: $.name and $.age

I want to get Value of hobbies. So:

  • $.hobbies[0] will return value "music"
  • $.hobbies[1] will return value "football"
  • $.hobbies[2] will return value "movies"
