How it works

About this tool

This free JSONPath finder extracts values from JSON using JSONPath query syntax. It is ideal for exploring API responses, pulling nested fields, and testing selectors before you wire them into application code.

Paste your JSON on the left, write a path such as $.store.books[*].title, and run the query. Results appear as a JSON array on the right. Example chips cover titles, recursive price lookups, indexes, and filtered book lists so you can learn the syntax quickly without memorizing the grammar first.

The finder focuses on the expressions developers use day to day. If a query returns an empty array, check spelling, quoting inside filters, and whether you meant a child selector (.) or recursive descent (..).

Everything runs client-side. Your JSON is never uploaded or stored, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded.

JSON Toolbox processes all data locally in the browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a JSON Path Finder?
A JSON Path Finder lets you query JSON with JSONPath expressions — a selector syntax similar to XPath. You write a path like $.store.books[*].title and get every matching value without writing code.
How do I use the JSONPath finder?
Paste JSON into the left panel, enter a JSONPath expression, and click Query (or press Enter). Matching values appear as a JSON array on the right. Use the example chips to try common patterns such as recursive descent, indexes, and filters.
Which JSONPath features are supported?
Common expressions work out of the box: root ($), child and descendant selectors (., ..), wildcards (*), array indexes and slices, and filter expressions such as [?(@.price > 12)]. Script expressions and vendor-specific extensions outside this set may not be available.
When should I use JSONPath instead of writing code?
JSONPath is ideal for exploring unfamiliar API responses, extracting nested fields during debugging, and verifying selectors before you hard-code them in an application. For complex transforms, you may still prefer application code after you have found the right paths.
Is my JSON uploaded when I run a query?
No. Queries run entirely in your browser. Your document is never uploaded, stored, or logged, so it is safe for production payloads.
