jsonpath-rust-pyThe jsonpath descriptionFunctionsSizeA functionlength()transforms the output of the filtered expression into a size of this element
It works with arrays, therefore it returns a length of a given array, otherwise null.$.some_field.length()To use itfor objects, the operator[*]can be used.$.object.[*].length()OperatorsOperatorDescriptionWhere to use$Pointer to the root of the json.It is gently advising to start every jsonpath from the root. Also, inside the filters to point out that the path is starting from the root.@Pointer to the current element inside the filter operations.It is used inside the filter operations to iterate the collection.*or[*]Wildcard. It brings to the list all objects and elements regardless their names.It is analogue a flatmap operation.<..>Descent operation. It brings to the list all objects, children of that objects and etcIt is analogue a flatmap operation..<name>or.['<name>']the key pointing to the field of the objectIt is used to obtain the specific field.['<name>' (, '<name>')]the list of keysthe same usage as for a single key but for list[<number>]the filter getting the element by its index.[<number> (, <number>)]the list if elements of array according to their indexes representing these numbers.[<start>:<end>:<step>]slice operator to get a list of element operating with their indexes. By default step = 1, start = 0, end = array len. The elements can be omitted[:][?(<expression>)]the logical expression to filter elements in the list.It is used with arrays preliminary.Filter expressionsThe expressions appear in the filter operator like that[?(@.len > 0)]. The expression in general consists of the
following elements:Left and right operands, that is ,in turn, can be a static value,representing as a primitive type like a number,
string value'value', array of them or another json path instance.Expression sign, denoting what action can be performedExpression signDescriptionWhere to use!Logical NotTo invert filters==EqualTo compare numbers or string literals!=UnequalTo compare numbers or string literals in opposite way to equals<LessTo compare numbers>GreaterTo compare numbers<=Less or equalTo compare numbers>=Greater or equalTo compare numbers~=Regular expressionTo find the incoming right side in the left side.inFind left element in the list of right elements.ninThe same one as saying above but carrying the opposite sense.sizeThe size of array on the left size should be corresponded to the number on the right side.noneOfThe left size has no intersection with rightanyOfThe left size has at least one intersection with rightsubsetOfThe left is a subset of the right sideExists operator.The operator checks the existence of the field depicted on the left side like that[?(@.key.isActive)]Filter expressions can be chained using||and&&(logical or and logical and correspondingly) in the following way:{"key":[{"city":"London","capital":true,"size":"big"},{"city":"Berlin","capital":true,"size":"big"},{"city":"Tokyo","capital":true,"size":"big"},{"city":"Moscow","capital":true,"size":"big"},{"city":"Athlon","capital":false,"size":"small"},{"city":"Dortmund","capital":false,"size":"big"},{"city":"Dublin","capital":true,"size":"small"}]}The path$.key[?(@.capital == false || @size == 'small')].citywill give the following result:["Athlon","Dublin","Dortmund"]And the path$.key[?(@.capital == false && @size != 'small')].city,in its turn, will give the following result:["Dortmund"]By default, the operators have the different priority so&&has a higher priority so to change it the brackets can be
used.$.[?((@.f == 0 || @.f == 1) && ($.x == 15))].cityExamplesGiven 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.
