The short version

What is JSON Path Tester?

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML.

It lets you navigate and extract specific values from complex JSON structures using expressions like $.store.book[0].title (first book title) or $..author (all authors at any depth). This tool evaluates JSONPath expressions against your JSON data entirely in the browser, showing matched results instantly.

Step by step

How to use JSON Path Tester

  1. 1

    Enter your JSON

    Paste or type your JSON data in the left panel. The tool validates JSON syntax in real-time and highlights errors. Click "Try Example" to load sample data.

  2. 2

    Write a JSONPath expression

    Enter a JSONPath expression in the top input field. All expressions start with $ (the root). Use dot notation for properties ($.store), brackets for arrays ($.book[0]), and two dots for recursive descent ($..price).

  3. 3

    Click Run

    Press the Run button or hit Enter. The tool evaluates the expression against your JSON and shows all matching values in the right panel.

  4. 4

    Review matches

    Each match is displayed with its index, type, and value. Objects and arrays are formatted as pretty-printed JSON. Click Copy to get all results as a JSON array.

  5. 5

    Try example paths

    Click the example path buttons below the input to quickly test common patterns. Each button fills in a different JSONPath expression.
