JSON Path Tester
Query and extract data from JSON using JSONPath expressions. Test your paths interactively with live results.
Interactive JSONPath Query Tool
JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to navigate and extract specific data from complex JSON structures using simple expressions. Our tester lets you try JSONPath queries interactively.
JSONPath Syntax
- $ - Root object
- . - Child operator ($.store.name)
- [n] - Array index ($.books[0])
- [*] - All array elements ($.books[*])
- .. - Recursive descent
- @ - Current object in filter
Common Use Cases
- API testing: Extract specific fields from API responses
- Data transformation: Select data for processing
- Configuration: Read settings from JSON configs
- Assertions: Validate specific values in tests
- Debugging: Find data in complex nested structures
JSONPath Examples
$.store.books[0].title - Gets the title of the first book. $.store.books[*].price - Gets all book prices as an array. $..title - Gets all title fields anywhere in the document.
Best Practices
Start with simple paths and build up to complex queries. Use array indices for specific elements, wildcards for all elements. Test your paths thoroughly before using in production code. Consider edge cases like missing fields.
