Is my JSON data sent to a server?

No. All evaluation is performed locally using the jsonpath-plus library in your browser. Even confidential JSON is safe to use.

Which JSONPath syntax is supported?

jsonpath-plus follows RFC 9535 (formerly the Stefan Goessner spec). Wildcards, recursive descent, filter expressions, and slices are all supported.

How is this different from json-formatter?

json-formatter formats and validates JSON and converts to YAML. This tool is a separate tool specifically for evaluating JSONPath expressions.

Are there performance limits?

Performance depends on browser memory. Very large JSON documents (multi-MB) may be slow. It is recommended to paste only the relevant portion of large payloads.

Does it require an internet connection?

Yes, to load the jsonpath-plus library from the jsDelivr CDN. Offline use is not supported.

About

A developer tool for evaluating JSONPath expressions against JSON data in real time. Ideal for extracting specific fields from API responses and exploring data structures. Unlike the existing json-formatter (formatting & YAML conversion), this tool is purpose-built for evaluating and testing JSONPath expressions. Powered by the jsonpath-plus library (MIT, CDN).

Glossary

JSONPath: A query language for JSON data, similar to XPath for XML. Expressions like $.store.book[0].title navigate through the JSON hierarchy using dot notation.
Root ($): The starting point of any JSONPath expression, representing the entire JSON document.
Wildcard (*): Matches any element. $.store.* returns all children of the store object.
Recursive Descent (..): Searches all descendant nodes regardless of depth. $..author returns all author fields at any nesting level.
Filter Expression (?()): Filters elements by condition. $.store.book[?(@.price < 10)] returns books with price below 10.
Bracket Notation: Array index or key access. $.book[0] (first), $.book[-1] (last).
Slice (0:2): Range selection from an array. $.book[0:2] returns elements at index 0 and 1.
jsonpath-plus: An RFC 9535-compliant JavaScript library for evaluating JSONPath. MIT license, loaded via CDN.
