Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSONPath?

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It lets you extract specific values from JSON data using path expressions like $.store.book[0].title to get the title of the first book.

What does $ mean in JSONPath?

The $ symbol represents the root element of the JSON document. All JSONPath expressions start with $. For example, $.name queries the 'name' property of the root object.
