JSONPath expression tool
Paste JSON, enter a JSONPath expression, and extract matching values instantly. Built for developers who already know the path they want to run.

Expression examples
These examples target high-intent JSONPath searches: arrays, nested fields, recursive keys, indexed values, and filtered records.
JSONPath syntax
This page focuses on the JSONPath patterns people use most often in API debugging and data extraction. It supports root selection, child properties, bracket properties, array indexes, wildcards, recursive key search, and simple filter expressions.
Need visual extraction instead?| Pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|
| $.user.name | Select a nested property |
| $['user name'] | Select a key that needs quotes |
| $.items[0] | Select an array item by index |
| $.items[:1].type | Select a slice from the start of an array |
| $.items[*].id | Select a property from every array item |
| $..id | Find every matching key recursively |
| $.items[?(@.price > 10)] | Filter array items by a condition |
Primary keyword
Built for users searching for a direct JSONPath query runner rather than a visual field picker.
Secondary intent
Run quick expressions against API payloads, generated JSON, logs, fixtures, and test data.
Privacy angle
The extractor runs in the browser, so sensitive JSON can be queried without a server upload step.
FAQ
A JSONPath extractor runs a JSONPath expression against JSON and returns the matching values, objects, arrays, or filtered records.
The visual JSON Extractor is for selecting fields without writing syntax. This page is for users who want to paste or write a JSONPath expression directly.
Yes. Use filter expressions such as $.orders[?(@.total > 50)] to keep records that match a condition.
No. JSON Pointer identifies a specific location with slash-separated tokens, while JSONPath can query multiple matches, arrays, recursive keys, and filtered records.
