JSON Path

Definitions

1. A path expression syntax for selecting and extracting values from JSON documents, conceptually similar to XPath for XML. JSONPath supports navigation through objects and arrays, wildcards, slices, and filters, though exact behavior varies across implementations.

   In plain English: It is a query notation for pointing to specific pieces of data inside a JSON document.

   Example: "The webhook payload is huge, but JSON Path lets us grab every failed item under $.results[?(@.status=='error')].id."
