Value at Path

Value at Path

Get a value from a JSON object at a specified path. A path is a text value in dot notation that contains:

  • Number(s) to select a value at an array index. For example, “books.0” will select the first book in an array of books.
  • Text string(s) to select a value for a key. For example, “books.0.title” will select the title of the first in array of books.
  • Asterisk(s) (*) to select an array of child values. For example, “books.*.title” will select an array of titles of all books.

Starting the path with two dots will get a recursive search for the following values, for example “..title” will get all the values for the key “title”, no matter how deep in the JSON object they are.
