XPath is used to extract values from XML documents. JsonPath performs this task for JSON documents. This chapter introduces you to JsonPath.
Note
If you’re unfamiliar with XPath, I recommend that you read Chapter 5 before reading this chapter. JsonPath was derived from XPath.
What Is JsonPath ?
JsonPath is a declarative query language (also known as a path expression syntax ) for selecting and extracting a JSON document’s property values. For example, you can use JsonPath to locate "John" in {"firstName": "John"} and return this value. JsonPath is based on XPath 1.0.
