In computer software, JSONPath is a query language for querying values in JSON. The uses of JSONPath include:
- Selecting a specific node in a JSON value
- Retrieving a set of nodes from a JSON value, based on specific criteria
- Navigating through complex JSON values to retrieve the required data.
JSONPath queries are path expressions written as strings, e.g. $.foo.
