About JSON Path

JSON Path pulls specific values out of a JSON document using JSONPath query syntax, so you can grab one nested field or every item in an array without scrolling through the whole structure. It is the tool to reach for when an API response is huge and you only care about a couple of paths. Everything runs in your browser, so even sensitive payloads stay on your device.

Privacy: JSON Path runs entirely on your device. Files you provide never leave your browser — no uploads, no server, no tracking. The page works offline once loaded.

Common uses

  • Extracting every price from an order array with $.items[*].price to eyeball totals quickly
  • Pulling a single deeply nested config value out of a sprawling settings blob
  • Using $..id recursively to collect every id anywhere in a response, regardless of depth
  • Reading a key that contains spaces or punctuation via the $["quoted key"] form
  • Grabbing the first element of a list with $.items[0] to inspect its shape
  • Spot-checking that a webhook payload contains the field your integration expects

Frequently asked questions

Which JSONPath features are supported?

The common subset: dot access ($.a.b), array indexing ($.items[0]), wildcards ($.items[*].price), recursive descent ($..key), and bracketed quoted keys ($["quoted key"]).

What can I paste in?

Any valid JSON, as a file or pasted text. The output is JSON containing the matched values.

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. The query runs entirely in your browser, so payloads never leave your machine.

What happens if my path matches nothing?

You get an empty result rather than an error, which makes it easy to tell when a field is absent.

Are filter expressions like [?(@.x>1)] supported?

No. This tool covers the common navigation subset; complex filter predicates are out of scope.

inspect

Pretty-print the source JSON so you can spot the paths you want to query.
JSON ↔ YAML
dev

Convert the extracted values to YAML if your config tooling prefers it.
Color Palette
inspect

Extract dominant colors from an image as hex codes.
Image Diff
inspect

Pixel-level diff between two images of the same dimensions.

Extract page count and metadata from a PDF.
Hash
inspect

Compute SHA-256, SHA-1, or SHA-512 hashes of files.
JSON Formatter
inspect

Parse and pretty-print JSON with configurable indentation.
Extract PDF Tables
export

Extract tabular data from a PDF as JSON or CSV. Works well for simple tables with aligned columns and no merged cells. Complex tables, rotated text, and scanned PDFs (images) will not extract cleanly.
Topic Keywords
text

Pull the topic-bearing nouns and noun phrases out of any text. Answers "what is this about" — not "what words appear most" (try Text Frequency for that). Runs entirely in your browser.
