Getting Started
---------------
JsonPath is available at the Central Maven Repository. Maven users add this to your POM.
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
<artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
10 years ago
</dependency>
```

JsonPath expressions always refer to a JSON structure in the same way as XPath expression are used in combination
10 years ago
with an XML document. The "root member object" in JsonPath is always referred to as `$` regardless if it is an
object or array.
10 years ago
JsonPath expressions can use the dot–notation
`$.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 |
10 years ago
| `['<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. |

Reading a Document
10 years ago
------------------
10 years ago
The simplest most straight forward way to use JsonPath is via the static read API.
```java
String json = "...";
List<String> authors = JsonPath.read(json, "$.store.book[*].author");
```
If you only want to read once this is OK. In case you need to read an other path as well this is not the way
to go since the document will be parsed every time you call JsonPath.read(...). To avoid the problem you can
parse the json first.
```java
String json = "...";
Object document = Configuration.defaultConfiguration().jsonProvider().parse(json);
10 years ago
String author0 = JsonPath.read(document, "$.store.book[0].author");
String author1 = JsonPath.read(document, "$.store.book[1].author");
```
10 years ago
JsonPath also provides a fluent API. This is also the most flexible one.
```java
String json = "...";
ReadContext ctx = JsonPath.parse(json);
List<String> authorsOfBooksWithISBN = ctx.read("$.store.book[?(@.isbn)].author");
List<Map<String, Object>> expensiveBooks = JsonPath
.using(configuration)
.parse(json)
.read("$.store.book[?(@.price > 10)]", List.class);
```
10 years ago
All `read` operations are overloaded and also supports compiled JsonPath objects. This can be useful from a performance perspective if the same path is to be executed
many times.
```java
10 years ago
JsonPath compiledPath = JsonPath.compile("$.store.book[1].author");
String author2 = JsonPath.read(document, compiledPath);
```
10 years ago
What is Returned When?
----------------------
10 years ago
When using JsonPath in java its important to know what type you expect in your result. JsonPath will automatically
10 years ago
try to cast the result to the type expected by the invoker.
```java
//Will throw an java.lang.ClassCastException
10 years ago
List<String> list = JsonPath.parse(json).read("$.store.book[0].author")
10 years ago
//Works fine
String author = JsonPath.parse(json).read("$.store.book[0].author")
```
10 years ago
When evaluating a path you need to understand the concept of when a path is `definite`. A path is `indefinite` if it contains:
10 years ago
* `..` - a deep scan operator
* `?(<expression>)` - an expression
* `[<number>, <number> (, <number>)]` - multiple array indexes
`Indefinite` paths always returns a list (as represented by current JsonProvider).
10 years ago
10 years ago
By default a simple object mapper is provided by the MappingProvider SPI. This allows you to specify the return type you want and the MappingProvider will
try to perform the mapping. In the example below mapping between `Long` and `Date` is demonstrated.
10 years ago
```java
10 years ago
String json = "{\"date_as_long\" : 1411455611975}";
Date date = JsonPath.parse(json).read("$['date_as_long']", Date.class);
10 years ago
```
10 years ago
If you configure JsonPath to use the `JacksonMappingProvider` you can even map your JsonPath output directly into POJO's.
10 years ago
```java
10 years ago
Book book = JsonPath.parse(json).read("$.store.book[0]", Book.class);
10 years ago
```

Predicates
----------
10 years ago
There are three different ways to create filter predicates in JsonPath.
10 years ago
###Inline Predicates
10 years ago
10 years ago
Inline predicates are the ones defined in the path.
10 years ago
```java
List<Map<String, Object>> books = JsonPath.parse(json).read("$.store.book[?(@.price < 10)]");
```
In the current implementation you can use `&&` to combine multiple predicates `[?(@.price < 10 && @.category == 'fiction')]`.
OR operations are not supported in inline predicates yet.
10 years ago
10 years ago
###Filter Predicates
10 years ago
Predicates can be built using the Filter API as shown below:
```java
import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse;
import static com.jayway.jsonpath.Criteria.where;
import static com.jayway.jsonpath.Filter.filter;
...
...
10 years ago
Filter cheapFictionFilter = filter(where("category").is("fiction").and("price").lte(10D));
10 years ago
List<Map<String, Object>> books = parse(json).read("$.store.book[?]", cheapFictionFilter);
```
Notice the placeholder `?` for the filter in the path. When multiple filters are provided they are applied in order where the number of placeholders must match
10 years ago
the number of provided filters. You can specify multiple predicate placeholders in one filter operation `[?, ?]`, both predicates must match.
Filters can also be combined with 'OR' and 'AND'
```java
Filter fooOrBar = filter(where("foo").exists(true)).or(where("bar").exists(true));
Filter fooAndBar = filter(where("foo").exists(true)).and(where("bar").exists(true));
```
10 years ago
###Roll Your Own
10 years ago
Third option is to implement your own predicates
```java
Predicate booksWithISBN = new Predicate() {
@Override
public boolean apply(PredicateContext ctx) {
return ctx.item(Map.class).containsKey("isbn");
}
};
List<Map<String, Object>> books = reader.read("$.store.book[?].isbn", List.class, booksWithISBN);
```

Path vs Value
-------------
10 years ago
In the Goessner implementation a JsonPath can return either `Path` or `Value`. `Value` is the default and what all the exaples above are reuturning. If you rather have the path of the elements our query is hitting this can be acheived with an option.
10 years ago
```java
10 years ago
Configuration conf = Configuration.builder().options(Option.AS_PATH_LIST).build();
10 years ago
10 years ago
List<String> pathList = using(conf).parse(json).read("$..author");
10 years ago
assertThat(pathList).containsExactly(
"$['store']['book'][0]['author']",
"$['store']['book'][1]['author']",
"$['store']['book'][2]['author']",
"$['store']['book'][3]['author']");
```
10 years ago
Tweaking Configuration
----------------------
###Options
When creating your Configuration there are a few option flags that can alter the default behaviour.
**DEFAULT_PATH_LEAF_TO_NULL**
10 years ago
<br/>
This option makes JsonPath return null for missing leafs. Consider the following json
```javascript
[
{
"name" : "john",
"gender" : "male"
},
{
"name" : "ben"
}
]
```
```java
Configuration conf = Configuration.defaultConfiguration();
//Works fine
String gender0 = JsonPath.using(conf).read(json, "$[0]['gender']");
//PathNotFoundException thrown
String gender1 = JsonPath.using(conf).read(json, "$[1]['gender']");
Configuration conf2 = conf.addOptions(Option.DEFAULT_PATH_LEAF_TO_NULL);
//Works fine
String gender0 = JsonPath.using(conf2).read(json, "$[0]['gender']");
//Works fine (null is returned)
String gender1 = JsonPath.using(conf2).read(json, "$[1]['gender']");
```
**ALWAYS_RETURN_LIST**
10 years ago
<br/>
This option configures JsonPath to return a list even when the path is `definite`.
```java
Configuration conf = Configuration.defaultConfiguration();
//Works fine
List<String> genders0 = JsonPath.using(conf).read(json, "$[0]['gender']");
//PathNotFoundException thrown
List<String> genders1 = JsonPath.using(conf).read(json, "$[1]['gender']");
```
**SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS**
10 years ago
<br/>
This option makes sure no exceptions are propagated from path evaluation. It follows these simple rules:
* If option `ALWAYS_RETURN_LIST` is present an empty list will be returned
* If option `ALWAYS_RETURN_LIST` is **NOT** present null returned
###JsonProvider
10 years ago
JsonPath is shipped with three different JsonProviders:
* [JsonSmartJsonProvider](https://code.google.com/p/json-smart/) (default)
* [JacksonJsonProvider](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson)
* [JacksonJsonNodeJsonProvider](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson)
10 years ago
* [GsonJsonProvider](https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/) (experimental)
Changing the configuration defaults as demonstrated should only be done when your application is being initialized. Changes during runtime is strongly discouraged, especially in multi threaded applications.
```java
Configuration.setDefaults(new Configuration.Defaults() {
10 years ago
private final JsonProvider jsonProvider = new JacksonJsonProvider();
@Override
public JsonProvider jsonProvider() {
return jsonProvider;
}
@Override
10 years ago
public MappingProvider mappingProvider() {
10 years ago
return new JacksonMappingProvider();
}
10 years ago
@Override
public Set<Option> options() {
return EnumSet.noneOf(Option.class);
}
});
```
10 years ago
Note that the JacksonJsonProvider requires `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.4.1.3` and the GsonJsonProvider requires `com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3` on your classpath.
