JSONPath Online

Online evaluatorPrivateInstant results

Evaluate JSONPath expressions instantly in your browser. Query nested values using wildcards, recursive descent, array selectors, and supported filters with real-time results.

  • Run JSONPath instantly
  • Test nested selectors
  • Great for APIs & debugging
  • No upload required
Supported expressions

This engine follows a Goessner-style subset (goessner.net/articles/JsonPath). Not every feature from Jayway, kubectl, or Postman dialects is available.

Supported

  • Root $
  • Dot notation .key
  • Bracket notation [n], [*], slices, multi-index
  • Wildcards * on objects and arrays
  • Recursive descent ..
  • Array indexes and filters [?(@…)] on arrays

Workflow Tips

Start Simple
Test one key first (for example $.name).
Expand Gradually
Add arrays and wildcards once the base path works.
Check Paths
Verify nesting levels and key names match the JSON structure.
Compare Results
Use sample data while debugging, then switch to real payloads.

Dialect Note

JSONPath implementations vary slightly across libraries. Supported syntax on this page matches the current tool engine’s documented subset.

Supported Features

  • Root $
  • Dot notation .key
  • Bracket notation
  • Wildcards *
  • Recursive descent ..
  • Array indexes
  • Filters [?(@…)] (subset)
  • Slices [start:end] (subset)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free?

Yes. This JSONPath online evaluator is free to use.

Is my JSON uploaded?

No. Evaluation runs locally in your browser—your JSON is not uploaded to a server.

What is JSONPath?

JSONPath is a query language for selecting values inside JSON documents—similar in spirit to XPath for XML.

Does it support wildcards?

Yes. This evaluator supports wildcards (*) and recursive descent (..), within its documented subset.

What are slices?

Slices select ranges from arrays using [start:end], such as $.items[0:3] for the first three items (depending on the engine subset).

Why no matches found?

Usually the path does not match your JSON shape (wrong keys, indexes, or filters). Confirm structure and try a simpler expression step by step.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The evaluator is mobile-friendly with an easy-to-reach expression input and readable results.

Can I copy results?

Yes. Copy all results as JSON or copy individual match values from the results list.
