-Java DSL for reading and testing JSON documents.

-------------------------------------------
-0.9.0                       2013-09-26
-------------------------------------------
-- OSGI ready
-- Bug fixes
-- Performance improvements
-
-- select multiple attributes
-    List<Map<String, Object>> matches = JsonPath.read(DOCUMENT, "$.store.book[*].['category', 'title']");
-    Map<String, Object> match = JsonPath.read(DOCUMENT, "$.store.bicycle['color', 'display-price']");
-
-- Array operations and slicing improved
-    String JSON_ARRAY = "[1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 20]";
-
-    //no slicing
-    JsonPath.read(JSON_ARRAY, "$[3]")     => 7			
-
-    //no slicing, multi index	
-    JsonPath.read(JSON_ARRAY, "$[0,1,2]") => [1,3,5]

-    //from index 0 (inclusive) until index 3 (exclusive)
-    JsonPath.read(JSON_ARRAY, "$[:3]")    => [1,3,5]

-- improved filter on primitives. Now you can compare with @
-    String json = "{\"contents\": [1,2,3]}";

-0.5.6                           2012-02-09
-------------------------------------------
-- Replaced regexp with custom tokenizer
-- Removed static declaration of JSON_PARSER
-- Introduced SPI for JsonProvider
-- Elaborating new concept with JsonModel
-
-------------------------------------------
-0.5.5
-------------------------------------------
-- Improved JSON bracket notation. $['store']['book'][*]['author name']
-  properties can also contain '.' eg $['store']['book'][*]['author.name']
-
-------------------------------------------
-0.5.4
-------------------------------------------
-- Replaced com.googlecode.json-simple with net.minidev.json-smart
-- Introduced different parse modes, JsonPath.SLACK_MODE and JsonPath.STRICT_MODE (the slack mode lets you use single quotes or even no quotes at all)
-
-------------------------------------------
-0.5.3
-------------------------------------------
-- Major refactoring
-- JsonPath does not always produce a List as response
-
-------------------------------------------
-0.5.2
-------------------------------------------
-- Fixed issue that path was never considered definite if containing a ':'
-- Bracket notation is now first class citizen $.foo.bar == $.['foo'].['bar']
-- Added JsonAsserter.assertNotDefined(String path) to allow checks for negative existence of a path
