JSONPath / JMESPath Tester
Paste JSON and test JSONPath ($..) or local JMESPath path expressions (orders[*].id). Use "Open in JSON
Formatter" to continue your workflow.
- Paste JSON and run JSONPath queries.
- Extract nested fields and debug paths.
- Great for API payload inspection.
- Share results: Generate a secure link to share your current input and results with teammates — nothing is uploaded to any server.
Tip: Ctrl + Enter to run
Input JSON
Matched results
Matched paths
Paste JSON, enter an expression, and click Run.
Tree Explorer
Paste valid JSON to browse the structure.
Generated Paths
Click a node in the tree to generate JSONPath, JSON Pointer, and JMESPath expressions.
Examples & Recipes
Filter Builder
Filter syntax portability varies. JSONPath filters are [?(@.field == 'value')]; JMESPath uses [?field=='value'] with backticks for numeric/boolean literals.
Empty-result Debugger
Run an expression that returns zero matches to see suggestions for similar paths and likely causes.
Code Snippets
Snippets reflect the current expression and mode. Install the relevant package (jsonpath-plus, jmespath, jsonpath-ng) before running.
Recent Expressions
Stored locally as expression text only. JSON input is not stored.

Dialect & Compatibility
Platform Notes
- Standard JSONPath is now defined by RFC 9535, but many tools still use older or custom variants.
- This page uses local jsonpath-plus-style behavior for JSONPath. Expressions may need adjustment in kubectl.
- JMESPath is common in AWS CLI-style queries. JSONPath expressions do not work in JMESPath-only tools.
- Use JSON Pointer when you need an exact location for JSON Patch operations.
JSONPath vs JMESPath Comparison
| Simple field extraction | Either JSONPath or JMESPath |
|---|---|
| Recursive search | JSONPath |
| Reshaping/selecting fields | JMESPath when supported |
| AWS CLI-style queries | JMESPath |
| JSON Pointer/path extraction | JSONPath result metadata |
| Kubernetes/kubectl examples | JSONPath, with kubectl compatibility caveats |
