How to use the Json Path Extractor
Paste a JSON document into the primary input on the first screen, enter a JSONPath query such as $.store.books[*].title, and run the extractor. The tool parses the document, evaluates the query with its deterministic local engine, and shows every match with the JSONPath path that produced it. Use the Sample JSON button to load a ready-made store catalog, then click one of the query presets to see dot notation, bracket notation, wildcards, recursive descent, and filter expressions working on real data. The output panel is complete on the first screen without scrolling, and every action stays in your browser.
JSONPath syntax the extractor supports
The engine supports the selectors people reach for most: $.store.books[0] and $.store.books[*] for child and array access, ['title'] bracket notation, [0,2,4] index lists, $..price recursive descent, and [?(...)] filter expressions such as $.store.books[?(@.price < 10)].title. Quoted bracket names handle keys with spaces or special characters, and script selectors like [(@.length-1)] provide simple computed access. Anything unsupported produces a clear syntax error naming the offending segment instead of a silently empty result, so the tool stays predictable for quick extraction jobs.
Copy, download, and keep your JSON private
Every extraction run appears in the output panel with its match count and matched values. Copy places the full report on your clipboard, Download saves it as a timestamped .json file, and Share copies a shareable reference to the tool itself. Nothing is uploaded: parsing, query evaluation, clipboard writes, and file downloads all run locally with deterministic JavaScript, so sensitive configuration files and API responses never leave your device. The saved-query list below the tool persists only in your browser and can be exported as JSON or CSV at any time.
Why use a dedicated json path extractor
JSON is everywhere: API responses, configuration files, test fixtures, and data dumps. Manually digging through deeply nested objects is slow and error-prone. A focused JSONPath extractor turns the job into one query: get every title, every price, or every field matching a condition, then copy the result straight into a script, spreadsheet, or report. Because the tool runs entirely in the browser, there is no account, no file upload, no per-run cost, and no learning curve beyond the query itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a json path extractor?
A json path extractor is a tool that evaluates a JSONPath expression against a JSON document and returns the matching values. This version supports child access, wildcards, array indexes, index lists, recursive descent, and filter predicates, and displays each match with the path that produced it.
How do I use this json path extractor tool?
Paste a JSON document into the primary input, type a JSONPath query such as $.store.books[*].title, and run the extractor. You can also load the sample JSON and click a query preset to see common syntax. The result appears immediately in the output panel and can be copied or downloaded as JSON.
Is this json path extractor tool free?
Yes. The tool is free to use and runs entirely in your browser. There are no uploads, no API keys, and no per-run charges, and your JSON never leaves the page.
Which JSONPath expressions are supported?
The engine supports $.store.books[0] and $.store.books[*], ['title'] bracket notation, [0,2,4] index lists, $..price recursive descent, [?(...)] filter expressions such as $.store.books[?(@.price < 10)], quoted names for keys with spaces, and simple script selectors. Unsupported syntax shows an exact error message instead of a wrong result.
Is my JSON uploaded anywhere?
No. All parsing, query evaluation, copy, and download logic runs locally with deterministic JavaScript. The tool never uploads your JSON, never requires an API key, and never starts a background server.
