Find a JSON property name that starts with something using JSON Path

Is it possible to find a property name that matches a regex pattern (or at least starts with) using JSON Path. In XPath I can use name() but I haven't been able to find the JSON Path equivalent.

Basically, I what to find all property names that start with x-. Something like $..x-*.

I'll be interested in using any javascript package that does this. Currently, I'm using JSONPath.

Solution

  • From my googling this is not possible in standard json path. However, the jsonpath-plus package extends the specification with @path; and makes the following possible

    $..[?(@path.includes("[\'x-"))]
$..*[?(@property === 'price' && @ !== 8.95)]

    The above assumes you are using ES6.
