JSONPath Query Online: Extract Data from JSON
Overview
JSONPath is the XPath equivalent for JSON, letting you extract specific fields from large nested payloads without writing parsing code. Test your JSONPath expressions against real API responses before adding them to production code. All processing runs locally in your browser.
How to Use This Tool
Paste your JSON in the top panel and enter a JSONPath expression (e.g. $.store.book[*].author) in the query field. Click Run. Matching values appear in the results panel with the full path for each match.

What JSONPath syntax does this tool support?
The tool supports standard JSONPath: $ (root), . (child), [] (subscript), * (wildcard), .. (recursive descent), and filter expressions like [?(@.price < 10)].
How is JSONPath different from dot notation?
Standard dot notation accesses a single known path. JSONPath adds wildcards, recursive search, and filter expressions, making it useful for querying arrays and finding values across deeply nested structures.
Can I use JSONPath to filter array items?
Yes. The filter expression [?(@.field == 'value')] selects only array items where the condition is true. This is the most common use case when working with REST API response arrays.
