JSON PATH:
FieldPortioning Tab | Description |
---|---|
JSON PATH | The JSON Path Expression used to located the data to be returned. |
JsonPath expressions always refer to a JSON structure in the same way as XPath expression are used in combination with an XML document. The “root member object” in JsonPath is always referred to asĀ $ regardless if it is an object or array.
JsonPath expressions can use the dot-notation
$.store.book[0].title
or the bracket-notation
$[‘store’][‘book’][0][‘title’]
Operators
Operator | Description |
---|---|
$ | The root element to query. This starts all path expressions. |
@ | The current node being processed by a filter predicate. |
* | Wildcard. Available anywhere a name or numeric are required. |
.. | Deep scan. Available anywhere a name is required. |
.<name> | Dot-notated child |
[‘<name>’ (, ‘<name>’)] | Bracket-notated child or children |
[<number> (, <number>)] | Array index or indexes |
[start:end] | Array slice operator |
[?(<expression>)] | Filter expression. Expression must evaluate to a boolean value. |
Functions
Functions can be invoked at the tail end of a path – the input to a function is the output of the path expression. The function output is dictated by the function itself.
Function | Description | Output |
---|---|---|
min() | Provides the min value of an array of numbers | Double |
max() | Provides the max value of an array of numbers | Double |
avg() | Provides the average value of an array of numbers | Double |
stddev() | Provides the standard deviation value of an array of numbers | Double |
length() | Provides the length of an array | Integer |
Filter Operators
Filters are logical expressions used to filter arrays. A typical filter would beĀ [?(@.age > 18)]Ā whereĀ @Ā represents the current item being processed. More complex filters can be created with logical operatorsĀ &&Ā andĀ ||. String literals must be enclosed by single or double quotes ([?(@.color == ‘blue’)]Ā orĀ [?(@.color == “blue”)]).
Operator | Description |
---|---|
== | left is equal to right (note that 1 is not equal to ‘1’) |
!= | left is not equal to right |
< | left is less than right |
<= | left is less or equal to right |
> | left is greater than right |
>= | left is greater than or equal to right |
=~ | left matches regular expression [?(@.name =~ /foo.*?/i)] |
in | left exists in right [?(@.size in [‘S’, ‘M’])] |
nin | left does not exists in right |
subsetof | left is a subset of right [?(@.sizes subsetof [‘S’, ‘M’, ‘L’])] |
anyof | left has an intersection with right [?(@.sizes anyof [‘M’, ‘L’])] |
noneof | left has no intersection with right [?(@.sizes noneof [‘M’, ‘L’])] |
size | size of left (array or string) should match right |
empty | left (array or string) should be empty |
Path Examples
Given the json
{ "store": { "book": [ { "category": "reference", "author": "Nigel Rees", "title": "Sayings of the Century", "price": 8.95 }, { "category": "fiction", "author": "Evelyn Waugh", "title": "Sword of Honour", "price": 12.99 }, { "category": "fiction", "author": "Herman Melville", "title": "Moby Dick", "isbn": "0-553-21311-3", "price": 8.99 }, { "category": "fiction", "author": "J. R. R. Tolkien", "title": "The Lord of the Rings", "isbn": "0-395-19395-8", "price": 22.99 } ], "bicycle": { "color": "red", "price": 19.95 } }, "expensive": 10 }
