JSONPath

Analyse, transform, and selectively extract data from JSON documents (and JavaScript objects).

Install

npm install JSONPath

Usage

In node.js:

var JSONPath = require('JSONPath');
JSONPath({json: obj, path: path});

For browser usage you can directly include lib/jsonpath.js, no browserify magic necessary:

<script src="lib/jsonpath.js"></script>
<script>
    JSONPath({json: obj, path: path});
</script>

Examples

Given the following JSON, taken from http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/ :

Development

Running the tests on node: npm test. For in-browser tests:

• Ensure that nodeunit is browser-compiled: cd node_modules/nodeunit; make browser;
• Serve the js/html files:

    node -e "require('http').createServer(function(req,res) { \
        var s = require('fs').createReadStream('.' + req.url); \
        s.pipe(res); s.on('error', function() {}); }).listen(8082);"

• To run the tests visit http://localhost:8082/test/test.html.
