Getting a single value from a JSON object using JSONPath

Question

I have the following JSON and I need to get the plain name value using JSONPath:

{
  \"single\" : {
    \"id\" : 1, 
    \"name\" : \"Item name\         


        

Answer 1

I was using the Java implementation of JSONPath and got to the very same issue. What worked for me was to add '[0]' to the json path string. So in your case:

$.single.name[0]
