Extract one field
$.user.email
Return a nested value from an object.
Visual JSON extraction tool
JSON Extractor
Extract fields, arrays, nested values, and filtered records from JSON without writing JSONPath by hand.

JSONPath examples
Start with common extraction patterns.
Use the visual builder above for live data, then copy the generated JSONPath when you need to repeat the same extraction in code, tests, docs, or API debugging notes.
Open JSONPath ExtractorExtract array values
$.items[*].price
Collect one property from every item.
Search recursively
$..id
Find matching keys across nested data.
Filter records
$.orders[?(@.total > 50)]
Keep only items that match a condition.
API debugging
Inspect large API responses faster.
Paste a response body, discover available fields, and extract only the values needed for logs, bug reports, or integration checks.
Data cleanup
Turn nested JSON into focused output.
Select fields from arrays, filter records, preview matches, then download a smaller JSON file for analysis or handoff.
Private by default
Process JSON in your browser.
Parsing and filtering run locally in a Web Worker, so sensitive payloads do not need to be uploaded just to extract a field.
How it works
A visual JSONPath workflow for messy payloads.
JSONPath is a query syntax for selecting and extracting values from JSON. This page keeps that power available while making the first step visual: parse, choose fields, add filters, then copy the expression or result.
-
01
Paste or upload JSON
The tool detects the root type, item count, and first array-like source.
-
02
Choose fields
Search discovered fields and add them as returned values or filters.
-
03
Preview matches
See the first 100 extracted results before downloading the full output.

FAQ
JSON Extractor questions
What is a JSON extractor? +
A JSON extractor pulls selected values from a JSON document. It can extract fields, nested values, array items, or filtered records from API responses and data files.
How do I extract a value from JSON? +
Paste JSON into the editor, parse it, then click Return beside the field you want. The result preview updates and the generated JSONPath can be copied.
Does this tool support JSONPath? +
Yes. The builder outputs JSONPath-style expressions for common field selection and filtering workflows, so you can reuse the extraction logic outside the page.
Is my JSON uploaded to a server? +
The current extractor parses and filters JSON in your browser with a Web Worker. That keeps the workflow fast for large payloads and private for sensitive data.
