JSONPath Tester (RFC 9535)

JSONPath picks values out of a JSON document with a short expression, the way XPath does for XML. This tester follows RFC 9535, the 2024 IETF standard, so a query that works here behaves the same in any conforming library. You get the matched values as JSON plus each match's normalized path, and filters are run by a small expression evaluator — nothing you type is executed as code.

How to use this tool

1. Paste the JSON document (the RFC bookstore example is filled in).
2. Type a query, or pick one from the examples list.
3. Read the number of matches, the values and their normalized paths.
4. Untick Pretty-print to get the result on one line.

Formula

$ root · .name or ['name'] child · * all children · ..name descendants · [0] [-1] index · [1:5:2] slice · [?@.price < 10] filter

Filters support == != < <= > >=, && || !, parentheses, @ (current node), $ (root), and the standard functions length(), count(), match() and search() (I-Regexp patterns) and value(). Comparisons need single values, so @.* or @..x cannot be compared directly — the tool reports such queries as errors, as the standard requires. A missing member compares equal only to another missing member.

Example

On the bookstore, $.store.book[?@.price < 10].title returns 2 matches: "Sayings of the Century" (8.95) and "Moby Dick" (8.99). $..author returns the 4 authors, $..book[-1] the Tolkien book, and $.store..price the five prices 8.95, 12.99, 8.99, 22.99 and 399.
