The jsonpath package provides RFC 9535 JSONPath functionality in Go.
- 📦 See the package documentation for usage and examples.
- 📚 See the RFC 9535 JSONPath standard for details on the JSONPath query syntax and examples of its usage.
- 🛝 Try it out in the Playground.

The root jsonpath package is stable and ready for use. These are the main
interfaces to the package.
The registry package is also stable, but exposes data types from the spec
package that are still in flux. Argument data types may still change.
The parser package interface is also stable, but in general should not be
used directly.
The spec package remains under active development, mainly refactoring,
reorganizing, renaming, and documenting. Its interface therefore is not stable
and should not be used for production purposes.
