Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online json pointer tester.
A JSON Pointer is a short string such as /user/name that identifies one value inside a JSON
document, defined by RFC 6901.
Write a tilde as ~0 and a slash as ~1, so the key a/b is addressed as /a~1b and the key m~n
as /m~0n.
An empty string is a valid pointer that refers to the whole document, which is useful for
checking that the JSON parses.
With a zero based index, for example /items/0 for the first element. The dash token for
appending is not a readable location.
The status line names the cause, such as an unknown member, an index out of range or an
invalid tilde escape.
