DESCRIPTION
   This module implements JSONPath, an XPath-like language for searching
   JSON-like structures.

   JSONPath is described at <http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/>.

 Constructor
   "JSON::Path->new($string)"
       Given a JSONPath expression $string, returns a JSON::Path object.

 Methods
   "values($object)"
       Evaluates the JSONPath expression against an object. The object
       $object can be either a nested Perl hashref/arrayref structure, or a
       JSON string capable of being decoded by JSON::MaybeXS::decode_json.

       Returns a list of structures from within $object which match against
       the JSONPath expression. In scalar context, returns the number of
       matches.

   "value($object)"
       Like "values", but returns just the first value. This method is an
       lvalue sub, which means you can assign to it:

         my $person = { name => "Robert" };
         my $path = JSON::Path->new('$.name');
         $path->value($person) = "Bob";

       TAKE NOTE! This will create keys in $object. E.G.:

           my $obj = { foo => 'bar' };
           my $path = JSON::Path->new('$.baz');
           $path->value($obj) = 'bak'; # $obj->{baz} is created and set to 'bak';

   "paths($object)"
       As per "values" but instead of returning structures which match the
       expression, returns canonical JSONPaths that point towards those
       structures.

   "get($object)"
       In list context, identical to "values", but in scalar context
       returns the first result.

   "set($object, $value, $limit)"
       Alters $object, setting the paths to $value. If set, then $limit
       limits the number of changes made.

       TAKE NOTE! This will create keys in $object. E.G.:

           my $obj = { foo => 'bar' };
           my $path = JSON::Path->new('$.baz');
           $path->set($obj, 'bak'); # $obj->{baz} is created and set to 'bak'

       Returns the number of changes made.

   "map($object, $coderef)"
       Conceptually similar to Perl's "map" keyword. Executes the coderef
       (in scalar context!) for each match of the path within the object,
       and sets a new value from the coderef's return value. Within the
       coderef, $_ may be used to access the old value, and $. may be used
       to access the curent canonical JSONPath.

   "to_string"
       Returns the original JSONPath expression as a string.

       This method is usually not needed, as the JSON::Path should
       automatically stringify itself as appropriate. i.e. the following
       works:

        my $jpath = JSON::Path->new('$.store.book[*].author');
        print "I'm looking for: " . $jpath . "\n";

 Functions
   The following functions are available for export, but are not exported
   by default:

   "jpath($object, $path_string)"
       Shortcut for "JSON::Path->new($path_string)->values($object)".

   "jpath1($object, $path_string)"
       Shortcut for "JSON::Path->new($path_string)->value($object)". Like
       "value", it can be used as an lvalue.

   "jpath_map { CODE } $object, $path_string"
       Shortcut for "JSON::Path->new($path_string)->map($object, $code)".

NAME
   JSON::Path - search nested hashref/arrayref structures using JSONPath

PERL SPECIFICS
   JSONPath is intended as a cross-programming-language method of searching
   nested object structures. There are however, some things you need to
   think about when using JSONPath in Perl...

 JSONPath Embedded Perl Expressions
   JSONPath expressions may contain subexpressions that are evaluated using
   the native host language. e.g.

    $..book[?($_->{author} =~ /tolkien/i)]

   The stuff between "?(" and ")" is a Perl expression that must return a
   boolean, used to filter results. As arbitrary Perl may be used, this is
   clearly quite dangerous unless used in a controlled environment. Thus,
   it's disabled by default. To enable, set:

    $JSON::Path::Safe = 0;

   There are some differences between the JSONPath spec and this
   implementation.

   *   JSONPath uses a variable '$' to refer to the root node. This is not
       a legal variable name in Perl, so '$root' is used instead.

   *   JSONPath uses a variable '@' to refer to the current node. This is
       not a legal variable name in Perl, so '$_' is used instead.

 Blessed Objects
   Blessed objects are generally treated as atomic values; JSON::Path will
   not follow paths inside them. The exception to this rule are blessed
   objects where:

     Scalar::Util::blessed($object)
     && $object->can('typeof')
     && $object->typeof =~ /^(ARRAY|HASH)$/

   which are treated as an unblessed arrayref or hashref appropriately.

BUGS
   Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.

   JSON::Schema.

   Similar functionality: Data::Path, Data::DPath, Data::SPath, Hash::Path,
   Path::Resolver::Resolver::Hash, Data::Nested, Data::Hierarchy... yes,
   the idea's not especially new. What's different is that JSON::Path uses
   a vaguely standardised syntax with implementations in at least three
   other programming languages.
