How to Use the JSONPath Evaluator

JSONPath is a powerful query language for JSON — similar to XPath for XML. It allows you to extract values, navigate nested structures, and filter complex JSON data effortlessly. At SimplyJSON, we've built an intuitive JSONPath Evaluator tool that helps developers and analysts run JSONPath expressions online without needing to install any software.

Getting Started

To start, go to the JSONPath Evaluator page. You’ll find a large text box to paste your JSON, and a separate input field to enter your JSONPath expression — such as $.phoneNumbers[:1].type. This will extract the type of the first phone number from the input JSON.

Features

  • Auto-correct invalid or incomplete JSON
  • Tree view and raw view toggle
  • Copy or download the result
  • Handles complex, nested JSON documents

SimplyJSON’s JSONPath Evaluator is ideal for developers, testers, and data analysts looking to parse and extract data from JSON in real-time. Whether you're working with API responses, logs, or config files — this tool will save you time and effort.
