Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSONPath?
JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. It uses dot notation ($.store.book[0].title) to navigate to specific values in a JSON document.
How do I use JSONPath?
JSONPath expressions start with $ (the root). Use dots for object properties ($.name), brackets for arrays ($.items[0]), and wildcards ($..price) for recursive searches.
Can I search within the JSON?
Yes, use the search box to find keys or values within the JSON tree. Matching nodes are highlighted for easy identification.
What JSON formats are supported?
Any valid JSON is supported, including objects, arrays, nested structures, and all JSON data types (strings, numbers, booleans, null).
Is my data sent to a server?
No, all JSON parsing and path finding happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

About JSON Path

Working with developer and design work no longer requires installing heavy desktop software — JSON Path runs entirely in your browser, instantly. Everything happens client-side, which means your files and data never leave your machine. The interface is intentionally minimal so you can focus on the task instead of learning the tool. If you find yourself doing this regularly, the rest of the developer suite covers most adjacent tasks with the same approach.
