About this tool
About this tool
JSONPath Tester evaluates JSONPath expressions against a JSON document by parsing the data and matching property, index, wildcard, recursive descent, slice, and filter segments. Matching values, paths, and types are listed locally in your browser.
Paste JSON, enter a JSONPath expression, and inspect every matching value with its exact path and data type. The tester supports practical property, index, wildcard, recursive, slice, and basic filter queries.
Built for daily work
- Extract selected fields from API responses.
- Debug webhook and integration payloads.
- Test JSONPath expressions before adding them to application code.
- Locate deeply nested configuration values.
How to use this tool
How to use this tool
Write a JSONPath query
Start with the root symbol, then select properties, array indexes, wildcards, recursive fields, slices, or a basic comparison filter.
Inspect and reuse results
Review matched values and paths, copy the complete result, or continue with the source JSON in another tool.
Key features
Key features
Property, index, wildcard, and filter queries
Select by dot or bracket notation, recurse with .., slice arrays with [0:3], and filter with ?(@.price > 10).
Path and value listed for every match
Results show the exact JSONPath alongside the matched value and its data type so you can confirm the right node was reached.
Clickable example queries
Pre-built query chips for common patterns like extracting all book titles or filtering by in-stock status let you test without writing syntax.
Not a runtime, not an IDE
The tester evaluates JSONPath expressions against a static document. It does not execute scripts, apply transforms, or modify the source data.
Practical use cases
Practical use cases
- Extract selected fields from API responses.
- Debug webhook and integration payloads.
- Test JSONPath expressions before adding them to application code.
- Locate deeply nested configuration values.
- Verify that multiple array records contain the expected field.
Private by default
For local tools, input is processed in your browser and is not sent to application analytics.

Limitations and important notes
Limitations and important notes
- JSONPath has multiple implementations and some advanced script expressions are not portable.
- Basic filters compare direct properties and do not execute arbitrary JavaScript.
- Very large result sets may be summarized to keep the browser responsive.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
No. Parsing and JSONPath evaluation run locally in the browser.
The tool supports common property, bracket, index, wildcard, recursive descent, union, slice, and basic comparison filter patterns. Highly implementation-specific script expressions are intentionally excluded.
Check letter case, the root symbol, array indexes, and whether the selected property exists at that level. Load the example to compare query structure.
Yes. Each result includes a copy action for its exact JSONPath.
No. Repair or format the document first, then return to the JSONPath tester.
