JSONPath Finder

JSONPath Finder writes the path for you. Paste a JSON document, wait for the tree, and click any key or value. The expression appears above the tree — for example $.user.roles[0] — with a Copy button, and the same span is highlighted in the editor so you can see which characters that node came from. You do not have to remember bracket versus dot syntax. The finder emits a concrete path for the node you clicked, not a wildcard.

That is the opposite of JSON Path Evaluator. Evaluator assumes you already have an expression, including filters and [*], and lists every match. Finder assumes you can see the data and need the expression. Use Finder while exploring an unfamiliar API response; switch to Evaluator when you want to test $.store.book[?(@.price<10)] or another query you wrote by hand.

Arrays are indexed from zero, so the first role is [0] and the second is [1]. Nested objects chain with dots: $.user.name, not a search across every name in the file. If two objects both have a name field, their paths still differ because each path starts at the root. Invalid JSON never builds a tree — trailing commas and comments fail the parse. Clean those with JSON Formatter, then paste the strict document here. The document stays in the browser; nothing is uploaded while you click through tokens, claims, or config blobs.
