What is JSON Path Query?
Need to extract specific data from huge JSON files? JSON Path lets you query and extract values from complex JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) structures. Think of it like XPath for XML, but for JSON.
As MDN Web Docs explains, JSONPath is essential for navigating and querying JSON data. Our tool supports standard JSONPath syntax, so you can find values, filter arrays, and navigate nested structures. Great for pulling specific data from massive JSON documents or API responses.
Everything happens in your browser – your JSON never leaves your computer. Query and extract data instantly with powerful JSONPath expressions.
What Makes This Tool Different
Standard JSONPath Syntax
We support standard JSONPath expressions like $..*, $.store.book[*].author, and $..price. Works with any JSONPath-compatible syntax.
Filter Expressions
Use filter expressions to find specific items. Query like $.store.book[?(@.price < 10)] to find books under $10.
Quick Examples
Click example buttons to try common JSONPath patterns. Learn the syntax quickly with pre-built examples.
File Upload Support
Got a big file? Just upload it. Works great for querying those massive JSON documents or API dumps.
Real-Time Results
Results update automatically as you type your JSONPath expression. See matches instantly without clicking a button.
Copy & Download
One click to copy, or download it as a file. Great for extracting data you need for further processing.
How It Works
Paste or Upload JSON
Paste your JSON document into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. You can also click "Sample" to see an example JSON structure.
Enter JSONPath Expression
Type your JSONPath expression in the input field below the editors. Use examples like $..* for all values, or $.store.book[*].author for specific paths. Click example buttons to try common patterns.
View and Export Results
Matching values appear in the right panel automatically. Click "Copy" to copy results, or "Download" to save them as a file.
When You'd Actually Use This
Data Extraction
Extract specific values from large JSON documents. Find all prices, names, or IDs without manually navigating the structure.
Filtering Arrays
Use filter expressions to find items matching conditions. Find all products under a certain price, or users in a specific city.
API Testing
Test API responses by extracting specific fields. Verify that expected values exist and match your requirements.
Data Analysis
Extract data for analysis or reporting. Pull specific fields from JSON exports to use in spreadsheets or other tools.
Common Questions
Is my JSON data stored?
Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.
What JSONPath syntax is supported?
We support standard JSONPath syntax including: $ (root), . (child operator), .. (recursive descent), [*] (wildcard), [0] (array index), and [?(@.key)] (filter expressions).
How do filter expressions work?
Filter expressions use [?(@.property operator value)] syntax. For example, $..book[?(@.price < 10)] finds all books with price less than 10.
Can I query nested objects?
Yep. Use the recursive descent operator .. to search through all levels. For example, $..price finds all price values no matter how deep they're nested.
What if the JSONPath doesn't match anything?
If no matches are found, the output will be empty or show an empty array. Check your JSONPath syntax and verify the JSON structure matches your query.
Does it work with invalid JSON?
Nah, you'll need valid JSON first. If something's broken, we'll show you an error. Try our JSON Validator or JSON Fixer to sort it out first.
Other JSON Tools You Might Need
Querying is just one JSON task. Here are other tools that work well together:
