<p><a class="link" href="JsonPath.html" title="JsonPath"><span class="type">JsonPath</span></a> is a simple class implementing the JSONPath syntax for extracting
data out of a JSON tree. While the semantics of the JSONPath expressions are
heavily borrowed by the XPath specification for XML, the syntax follows the
ECMAScript origins of JSON.</p>
<p>Once a <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html" title="JsonPath"><span class="type">JsonPath</span></a> instance has been created, it has to compile a JSONPath
expression using <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html#json-path-compile" title="json_path_compile ()"><code class="function">json_path_compile()</code></a> before being able to match it to a
JSON tree; the same <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html" title="JsonPath"><span class="type">JsonPath</span></a> instance can be used to match multiple JSON
trees. It it also possible to compile a new JSONPath expression using the
same <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html" title="JsonPath"><span class="type">JsonPath</span></a> instance; the previous expression will be discarded only if
the compilation of the new expression is successful.</p>
<p>The simple convenience function <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html#json-path-query" title="json_path_query ()"><code class="function">json_path_query()</code></a> can be used for one-off
matching.</p>
<div class="refsect3">
<a name="id-1.4.3.4.7.5"></a><h4>Syntax of the JSONPath expressions</h4>
<p>A JSONPath expression is composed by path indices and operators.
Each path index can either be a member name or an element index inside
a JSON tree. A JSONPath expression must start with the '$' operator; each
path index is separated using either the dot notation or the bracket
notation, e.g.:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="screen">
// dot notation
$.store.book[0].title
// bracket notation
$['store']['book'][0]['title']
</pre></div>
<p></p>
<p>The available operators are:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>Root node
The <code class="literal">$</code> character represents the root node of the JSON tree, and
matches the entire document.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Child nodes can either be matched using <code class="literal">.</code> or <code class="literal">[]</code>. For instance,
both <code class="literal">$.store.book</code> and <code class="literal">$['store']['book']</code> match the contents of
the book member of the store object.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Child nodes can be reached without specifying the whole tree structure
through the recursive descent operator, or <code class="literal">..</code>. For instance,
<code class="literal">$..author</code> matches all author member in every object.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Child nodes can grouped through the wildcard operator, or <code class="literal">*</code>. For
instance, <code class="literal">$.store.book[*].author</code> matches all author members of any
object element contained in the book array of the store object.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Element nodes can be accessed using their index (starting from zero)
in the subscript operator <code class="literal">[]</code>. For instance, <code class="literal">$.store.book[0]</code> matches
the first element of the book array of the store object.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Subsets of element nodes can be accessed using the set notation
operator <code class="literal">[i,j,...]</code>. For instance, <code class="literal">$.store.book[0,2]</code> matches the
elements 0 and 2 (the first and third) of the book array of the store
object.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Slices of element nodes can be accessed using the slice notation
operation <code class="literal">[start:end:step]</code>. If start is omitted, the starting index
of the slice is implied to be zero; if end is omitted, the ending index
of the slice is implied to be the length of the array; if step is
omitted, the step of the slice is implied to be 1. For instance,
<code class="literal">$.store.book[:2]</code> matches the first two elements of the book array
of the store object.</p></li>
</ul></div>

<p>The following example shows some of the results of using <a class="link" href="JsonPath.html" title="JsonPath"><span class="type">JsonPath</span></a>
on a JSON tree. We use the following JSON description of a bookstore:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="screen">
{ "store": {
"book": [
{ "category": "reference", "author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century", "price": "8.95" },

{ "category": "fiction", "author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick", "isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
