Find JSON paths to navigate and extract data. Useful for APIs and configs. All in your browser.

About JSON Path Finder

The JSON Path Finder is an essential tool for developers working with JSON data structures. It automatically extracts all paths from JSON objects, allowing you to navigate complex nested structures and find specific values. Perfect for API development, data analysis, and JSON manipulation.

Use Cases:

  • Navigating complex JSON API responses
  • Finding specific values in nested JSON structures
  • Understanding JSON data organization
  • Generating JSONPath expressions for code
  • Debugging JSON parsing issues
  • Extracting data from large JSON files

Key Features:

  • Automatic path extraction from JSON
  • Search paths by name or value
  • Copy paths for use in code
  • View values and types at each path
  • Handle nested objects and arrays
  • 100% browser-based - no server processing

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find JSON paths?

Paste your JSON into the input field. The tool automatically extracts all paths in your JSON structure. You can search for specific paths or values using the search field. Each path shows the location and value at that path.

What is a JSON path?

A JSON path is a way to reference a specific value in a JSON object. It starts with '$' (root) and uses dot notation for objects (e.g., $.user.name) and bracket notation for arrays (e.g., $.users[0].name).

Can I search for specific paths or values?

Yes! Use the search field to filter paths by path name or value. The tool will show only matching paths, making it easy to find what you're looking for in large JSON structures.

Is the JSON path finder free to use?

Yes! Our JSON path finder is 100% free with no registration required, no usage limits, and no hidden fees. You can find paths in as much JSON as you need for your development work.

Are my JSON files stored or tracked?

No, all JSON path finding happens locally in your browser. We don't store, save, or have access to any JSON data you analyze. Your privacy is completely protected.

Can I copy JSON paths?

Yes! Click the copy button next to any path to copy it to your clipboard. You can use these paths in your code or with JSON path libraries.

How do JSON paths work?

JSON paths use dot notation for objects (e.g., $.user.name) and bracket notation for arrays (e.g., $.users[0].name). The root is represented by '$'. Paths allow you to reference specific values in nested JSON structures.

Can I search for specific values?

Yes! Use the search field to filter paths by path name or value. For example, search for 'email' to find all paths containing 'email' in the path or value. This makes it easy to locate specific data in large JSON structures.

What if my JSON has nested arrays?

The tool handles nested arrays and objects correctly. Array indices are shown in brackets (e.g., $.items[0].name), and nested objects use dot notation (e.g., $.user.profile.email).

Can I use these paths in code?

Yes! The paths generated by this tool are compatible with JSONPath libraries in various programming languages (JavaScript, Python, Java, etc.). You can copy paths and use them directly in your code.

How do I extract a value using a path?

Once you have a JSON path, you can use it with JSONPath libraries or manually traverse the JSON object. The tool shows both the path and the value at that path, making it easy to understand the structure.
