StatusBarJsonPath

Sublime Text plugin to get the JSONPath (a notation to access the item) under the cursor in a JSON.

The plugin also includes a command JSONPath: Copy to copy the displayed path to the clipboard.

Example

Given the following JSON object:

{
    "name": "Hello World",
    "tags": [
        "example"
    ],
    "metadata": {
        "author": "Alex Kirk"
    }
}

In this scenario the plugin will display/copy the following JSONPaths (all directly queryable in jq for matching results):

• Cursor inside “name”: .name
• Cursor inside “Hello World”: .name
• Cursor inside “tags”: .tags
• Cursor inside “example”: .tags[0]
• Cursor inside “metadata”: .metadata
• Cursor inside “author”: .metadata.author
