Path Finder

A Helper program to get the JSON Path for this mod You can find it here! https://github.com/generalwrex/DBM-WebAPI-Parser-PathFinder

How to get the path

Here is our example

Interact with it here! https://jsonblob.com/

Lets say we wanted to get the "b" object from that ( the highlighted one )

the path to the "b" object would be "object.object.a"

the path to the "Hello World" string would be "object.string"

the path to the "123" would be "object.number"

To pull an object from the array, it would be object.array[0] for 1, array[1] for 2, and array[2] for 3" Instead of array.0 its array[0].

When typing these into the path, always ignore the root variable as thats already there.

so if you wanted the path to output "Hello World", you would type string into the path textbox. (removing object. from it)

Have fun!
