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 think, it depends of language implementation.

For example in nodejs there is a npm module : https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonpath

Which have a method called value, which does exactly what we need

jp.value(obj, pathExpression[, newValue])

Returns the value of the first element matching pathExpression. If newValue is provided, sets the value of the first matching element and returns the new value.

I tried it and worked!
