JSONPath Tester — free online tool

Sometimes you have a big chunk of JSON and you just want to pull out one piece of it. Maybe it's an API response, maybe a config file, and you need the right path to grab the field you want. Guessing in your head is slow, and trial and error in code is worse. We added a free tool that does it — JSONPath Playground — right in your browser.

What it does

You paste your JSON, type a JSONPath expression, and it shows you exactly what that expression matches, instantly. As you change the path, the result updates so you can see right away what you're getting. No setup, no waiting.

Nothing leaves your device

The whole thing runs inside your browser. Your JSON is never uploaded anywhere and nothing is saved on a server. When you close the tab, it's gone. So even with private or work data, you can use it without worry.

How to use it

  1. Open JSONPath Playground and paste your JSON in the box.
  2. Type a JSONPath expression, like $.users[0].name.
  3. Read the matches it shows, and copy the result you need.

It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
