Python JSONPath Next-Generation |Build Status| |PyPI|
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
A final implementation of JSONPath for Python that aims to be standard compliant, including arithmetic
|
|
and binary comparison operators, as defined in the original `JSONPath proposal`_.
|
|
|
|
This packages merges both `jsonpath-rw`_ and `jsonpath-rw-ext`_ and
|
|
provides several AST API enhancements, such as the ability to update or removes nodes in the tree.
|
|
|
|
About
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
This library provides a robust and significantly extended implementation
|
|
of JSONPath for Python. It is tested with CPython 2.6, 2.7 & 3.x.
|
|
|
|
This library differs from other JSONPath implementations in that it is a
|
|
full *language* implementation, meaning the JSONPath expressions are
|
|
first class objects, easy to analyze, transform, parse, print, and
|
|
extend.
|
|
|
|
Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
To install, use pip:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pip install --upgrade jsonpath-ng
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Basic examples:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
$ python
|
|
|
|
>>> from jsonpath_ng import jsonpath, parse
|
|
|
|
# A robust parser, not just a regex. (Makes powerful extensions possible; see below)
|
|
>>> jsonpath_expr = parse('foo[*].baz')
|
|
|
|
# Extracting values is easy
|
|
>>> [match.value for match in jsonpath_expr.find({'foo': [{'baz': 1}, {'baz': 2}]})]
|
|
[1, 2]
|
|
|
|
# Matches remember where they came from
|
|
>>> [str(match.full_path) for match in jsonpath_expr.find({'foo': [{'baz': 1}, {'baz': 2}]})]
|
|
['foo.[0].baz', 'foo.[1].baz']
|
|
|
|
# And this can be useful for automatically providing ids for bits of data that do not have them (currently a global switch)
|
|
>>> jsonpath.auto_id_field = 'id'
|
|
>>> [match.value for match in parse('foo[*].id').find({'foo': [{'id': 'bizzle'}, {'baz': 3}]})]
|
|
['foo.bizzle', 'foo.[1]']
|
|
|
|
# A handy extension: named operators like `parent`
|
|
>>> [match.value for match in parse('a.*.b.`parent`.c').find({'a': {'x': {'b': 1, 'c': 'number one'}, 'y': {'b': 2, 'c': 'number two'}}})]
|
|
['number two', 'number one']
|
|
|
|
# You can also build expressions directly quite easily
|
|
>>> from jsonpath_ng.jsonpath import Fields
|
|
>>> from jsonpath_ng.jsonpath import Slice
|
|
|
|
>>> jsonpath_expr_direct = Fields('foo').child(Slice('*')).child(Fields('baz')) # This is equivalent
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the extended parser:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
$ python
|
|
|
|
>>> from jsonpath_ng.ext import parse
|
|
|
|
# A robust parser, not just a regex. (Makes powerful extensions possible; see below)
|
|
>>> jsonpath_expr = parse('foo[*].baz')
|
|
|
|
|
|
JSONPath Syntax
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The JSONPath syntax supported by this library includes some additional
|
|
features and omits some problematic features (those that make it
|
|
unportable). In particular, some new operators such as ``|`` and
|
|
``where`` are available, and parentheses are used for grouping not for
|
|
callbacks into Python, since with these changes the language is not
|
|
trivially associative. Also, fields may be quoted whether or not they
|
|
are contained in brackets.
|
|
|
|

Programmatic JSONPath
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are programming in Python and would like a more robust way to
|
|
create JSONPath expressions that does not depend on a parser, it is very
|
|
easy to do so directly, and here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
- ``Root()``
|
|
- ``Slice(start=0, end=None, step=None)``
|
|
- ``Fields('foo', 'bar')``
|
|
- ``Index(42)``
|
|
- ``Child(Fields('foo'), Index(42))``
|
|
- ``Where(Slice(), Fields('subfield'))``
|
|
- ``Descendants(jsonpath, jsonpath)``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extras
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
- *Path data*: The result of ``JsonPath.find`` provide detailed context
|
|
and path data so it is easy to traverse to parent objects, print full
|
|
paths to pieces of data, and generate automatic ids.
|
|
- *Automatic Ids*: If you set ``jsonpath_ng.auto_id_field`` to a value
|
|
other than None, then for any piece of data missing that field, it
|
|
will be replaced by the JSONPath to it, giving automatic unique ids
|
|
to any piece of data. These ids will take into account any ids
|
|
already present as well.
|
|
- *Named operators*: Instead of using ``@`` to reference the currently
|
|
object, this library uses ```this```. In general, any string
|
|
contained in backquotes can be made to be a new operator, currently
|
|
by extending the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extensions

----------
|
|
|
|
To use the extensions below you must import from `jsonpath_ng.ext`.
|
|

|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| name | Example |
|
|
+==============+===============================================+
|
|
| len | - ``$.objects.`len``` |
|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| sub | - ``$.field.`sub(/foo\\\\+(.*)/, \\\\1)``` |
|
|
| | - ``$.field.`sub(/regex/, replacement)``` |
|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| split | - ``$.field.`split(+, 2, -1)``` |
|
|

|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| sorted | - ``$.objects.`sorted``` |

|
|
| | - ``$.objects[\\some_field,/other_field]`` |
|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|

|
|
| | - ``$.objects[?some_field = "foobar"]`` |
|
|
| | - ``$.objects[?some_field =~ "foobar"]`` |
|
|
| | - ``$.objects[?some_field > 5 & other < 2]`` |
|
|
| | |
|
|
| | Supported operators: |
|
|
| | - Equality: ==, =, != |
|
|
| | - Comparison: >, >=, <, <= |
|
|
| | - Regex match: =~ |
|
|
| | |
|
|
| | Combine multiple criteria with '&'. |
|
|
| | |
|
|
| | Properties can only be compared to static |
|
|
| | values. |
|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
| arithmetic | - ``$.foo + "_" + $.bar`` |
|
|
| (-+*/) | - ``$.foo * 12`` |
|
|
| | - ``$.objects[*].cow + $.objects[*].cat`` |
|
|
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
About arithmetic and string
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Operations are done with python operators and allows types that python
|
|
allows, and return [] if the operation can be done due to incompatible types.
|
|
|
|
When operators are used, a jsonpath must be be fully defined otherwise
|
|
jsonpath-rw-ext can't known if the expression is a string or a jsonpath field,
|
|
in this case it will choice string as type.
|
|
|
|
Example with data::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
'cow': 'foo',
|
|
'fish': 'bar'
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
| ``cow + fish`` returns ``cowfish``
|
|
| ``$.cow + $.fish`` returns ``foobar``
|
|
| ``$.cow + "_" + $.fish`` returns ``foo_bar``
|
|
| ``$.cow + "_" + fish`` returns ``foo_fish``
|
|
|
|
About arithmetic and list
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Arithmetic can be used against two lists if they have the same size.
|
|
|
|
Example with data::
|
|
|
|
{'objects': [
|
|
{'cow': 2, 'cat': 3},
|
|
{'cow': 4, 'cat': 6}
|
|
]}
|
|
|
|
| ``$.objects[\*].cow + $.objects[\*].cat`` returns ``[6, 9]``
|
|
|
|
More to explore
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
There are way too many JSONPath implementations out there to discuss.
|
|
Some are robust, some are toy projects that still work fine, some are
|
|
exercises. There will undoubtedly be many more. This one is made for use
|
|
in released, maintained code, and in particular for programmatic access
|
|
to the abstract syntax and extension. But JSONPath at its simplest just
|
|
isn't that complicated, so you can probably use any of them
|
|
successfully. Why not this one?
|
|
|
|
The original proposal, as far as I know:
|
|
|
|
- `JSONPath - XPath for
|
|
JSON <http://goessner.net/articles/JSONPath/>`__ by Stefan Goessner.
|
|
|
|
Other examples
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Loading json data from file
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
import json
|
|
d = json.loads('{"foo": [{"baz": 1}, {"baz": 2}]}')
|
|
# or
|
|
with open('myfile.json') as f:
|
|
d = json.load(f)
|
|
|
|
Special note about PLY and docstrings
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The main parsing toolkit underlying this library,
|
|
`PLY <https://github.com/dabeaz/ply>`__, does not work with docstrings
|
|
removed. For example, ``PYTHONOPTIMIZE=2`` and ``python -OO`` will both
|
|
cause a failure.
