Query JSON with JSONPath ($, wildcards, recursive descent, slices) and explore every path to a value.
Paste or type your input here, JSONPath Finder is loading…
JSONPath Finder evaluates a JSONPath expression against your JSON as you type, listing every matching value together with the exact path that leads to it. It supports the root $, dot and bracket property access, array indexes, the [*] wildcard, .. recursive descent and [start:end] slices.
It is most useful when an API response is large and deeply nested. Use $..id to find an id key wherever it appears, or $.users[*].email to pull one field from every item in an array, then copy the concrete path for the match you actually want.
If your JSON is invalid, the tool points to the exact position of the error, and a collapsible tree lets you explore an unfamiliar payload before writing any expression at all.
Test expressions here before putting them into code, a configuration file or a monitoring rule, where a wrong path tends to fail silently by returning nothing. Your JSON is processed entirely in the browser and is never uploaded.
