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:

• 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

Demo

Installation

You can install the package manually like this (I have submitted it to https://packagecontrol.io/ but it has not been accepted yet):

1. Click the Preferences >Browse Packages… menu, this should open a folder Packages.
2. Download https://github.com/akirk/StatusBarJsonPath/archive/refs/heads/main.zip and extract it into that directory (it should then have a subfolder StatusBarJsonPath-main).
3. Restart Sublime Text.
