JSONPath Tester
Test JSONPath expressions against JSON data in real time. Supports dot notation, bracket notation, wildcards, array slices, and recursive descent.
JSONPath Tester
JSONPath syntax reference
$ is the root object. Use dot notation ($.key) or bracket notation ($['key']) to navigate. [*] or .* selects all items. [0] selects by index. [0:2] slices an array. ..key performs recursive descent — searching all levels. Paths are evaluated live as you type.
Why use JSONPath Tester online?
JSONPath Tester in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no fragile one-liners, and instant feedback for teammates who do not live in the terminal. It is ideal for debugging, demos, and quick checks during code review.
Tips for best results
Work with a sample payload first, then paste production data. Keep privacy in mind: prefer local browser processing for secrets, tokens, and customer data. Bookmark this page for faster access next time.

Your JSON stays in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
常见问题
- What JSONPath syntax is supported?
- Root ($), dot notation (.key), bracket notation (['key']), array index ([0]), negative index ([-1]), array slice ([0:2]), wildcard ([*] and .*), and recursive descent (..key).
- Does this support filter expressions like ?(@.price > 10)?
- Not currently. Filter expressions require a more complex parser. The tool covers the core syntax used in the vast majority of real-world JSONPath queries.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.
- Does my data get sent to a server?
- No. Processing runs in your browser whenever possible. Sensitive input never leaves your device unless a tool explicitly fetches a URL you provide (e.g. OG Validator).
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. The tools work in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for large JSON or PDF workflows.
- How is this different from desktop apps?
- There is nothing to install or update. Open a bookmarked URL and start working — ideal for quick tasks during development or support calls.
- Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Most tools support standard paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and select-all in text areas. Copy buttons provide one-click output.
- Does Skybin store my history?
- No. We do not log tool inputs or outputs. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state unless the tool encodes state in the URL.
