Java based JSON manipulations

Question

Is anyone aware of a JSON-XPath style library that allows data manipulation; update, delete, create, etc...

JsonPath.write(json, "$.store.book[*].author", value);

I've looked into the following, but none allow altering the content.

JPath

JSONQuery

JSONiJ

Answer 1

JsonPath (im using 2.2.0) now allows the manipulation of JSON data. e.g.

    String jsonData = "{\"drink\":\"juice\"}";
    JsonPath.parse(jsonData).set("$.drink", "beer").jsonString();

results in {"drink":"beer"}
