What is JSON Path Finder?

JSON Path Finder is a developer tool that helps you navigate complex JSON structures and find the exact path to any value. It displays JSON data in an interactive tree view, allowing you to click on any node to instantly get both JSONPath and JavaScript notation paths.

How to Use JSON Path Finder

Paste your JSON data or upload a file, then click on any node in the tree view to see its path. You can copy the JSONPath or JavaScript path notation to use in your code. Use the search feature to find values by entering a path expression.

JSONPath vs JavaScript Path

JSONPath uses $ as the root with bracket notation ($.store['books'][0]), while JavaScript notation uses dot notation where possible (data.store.books[0]). Both formats are provided so you can choose the one that best fits your use case.

Key Features

Interactive tree view with color-coded type indicators, dual path format support (JSONPath and JavaScript), path search functionality, one-click copy to clipboard, expand/collapse all nodes, and file upload support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JSONPath and JavaScript path?

JSONPath uses $ as the root and bracket notation for keys, while JavaScript notation uses a variable name with dot notation where possible. Both can access the same values.

How do I handle keys with special characters?

Keys with special characters, spaces, or starting with numbers should use bracket notation like $['my-key']. The tool automatically generates the correct notation.

What is the maximum JSON size supported?

Since all processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. JSON files up to several megabytes generally work well.

Does this tool modify my original JSON?

No, this tool only reads and displays your JSON data. It does not modify the original data in any way.

Can I use this tool offline?

Yes, once the page is loaded, all processing happens locally in your browser. No internet connection is required.

Does this tool support advanced JSONPath queries?

The current implementation supports basic path navigation. For advanced queries with wildcards or filters, you may need a full JSONPath library.
