JSON Pointer

Definitions

1. A standardized string syntax defined by RFC 6901 for identifying a specific value inside a JSON document using slash-separated reference tokens, such as /user/email. Unlike JSONPath, JSON Pointer is a precise location reference rather than a query language with filters or wildcards.

   In plain English: It is an exact address for one location inside a JSON document.

   Example: "The patch operation failed because the JSON Pointer /items/3/name doesn't exist in that request body."
