+
+GJSON is a Go package that provides a [fast](#performance) and [simple](#get-a-value) way to get values from a json document.
+It has features such as [one line retrieval](#get-a-value), [dot notation paths](#path-syntax), [iteration](#iterate-through-an-object-or-array), and [parsing json lines](#json-lines).
+
+Also check out [SJSON](https://github.com/tidwall/sjson) for modifying json, and the [JJ](https://github.com/tidwall/jj) command line tool.
+
+This README is a quick overview of how to use GJSON, for more information check out [GJSON Syntax](SYNTAX.md).
+
+GJSON is also available for [Python](https://github.com/volans-/gjson-py) and [Rust](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson.rs)
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+## Installing
+
+To start using GJSON, install Go and run `go get`:
+
+```sh
+$ go get -u github.com/tidwall/gjson
+```
+
+This will retrieve the library.
+
+## Get a value
+Get searches json for the specified path. A path is in dot syntax, such as "name.last" or "age". When the value is found it's returned immediately.
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import "github.com/tidwall/gjson"
+
+const json = `{"name":{"first":"Janet","last":"Prichard"},"age":47}`
+
+func main() {
+ value := gjson.Get(json, "name.last")
+ println(value.String())
+}
+```
+
+This will print:
+
+```
+Prichard
+```
+*There's also the [GetMany](#get-multiple-values-at-once) function to get multiple values at once, and [GetBytes](#working-with-bytes) for working with JSON byte slices.*
+
+## Path Syntax
+
+Below is a quick overview of the path syntax, for more complete information please
+check out [GJSON Syntax](SYNTAX.md).
+
+A path is a series of keys separated by a dot.
+A key may contain special wildcard characters '\*' and '?'.
+To access an array value use the index as the key.
+To get the number of elements in an array or to access a child path, use the '#' character.
+The dot and wildcard characters can be escaped with '\\'.
+
+```json
+{
+ "name": {"first": "Tom", "last": "Anderson"},
+ "age":37,
+ "children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"],
+ "fav.movie": "Deer Hunter",
+ "friends": [
+ {"first": "Dale", "last": "Murphy", "age": 44, "nets": ["ig", "fb", "tw"]},
+ {"first": "Roger", "last": "Craig", "age": 68, "nets": ["fb", "tw"]},
+ {"first": "Jane", "last": "Murphy", "age": 47, "nets": ["ig", "tw"]}
+ ]
+}
+```
+```
+"name.last" >> "Anderson"
+"age" >> 37
+"children" >> ["Sara","Alex","Jack"]
+"children.#" >> 3
+"children.1" >> "Alex"
+"child*.2" >> "Jack"
+"c?ildren.0" >> "Sara"
+"fav\.movie" >> "Deer Hunter"
+"friends.#.first" >> ["Dale","Roger","Jane"]
+"friends.1.last" >> "Craig"
+```
+
+You can also query an array for the first match by using `#(...)`, or find all
+matches with `#(...)#`. Queries support the `==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`
+comparison operators and the simple pattern matching `%` (like) and `!%`
+(not like) operators.
+
+```
+friends.#(last=="Murphy").first >> "Dale"
+friends.#(last=="Murphy")#.first >> ["Dale","Jane"]
+friends.#(age>45)#.last >> ["Craig","Murphy"]
+friends.#(first%"D*").last >> "Murphy"
+friends.#(first!%"D*").last >> "Craig"
+friends.#(nets.#(=="fb"))#.first >> ["Dale","Roger"]
+```
+
+*Please note that prior to v1.3.0, queries used the `#[...]` brackets. This was
+changed in v1.3.0 as to avoid confusion with the new
+[multipath](SYNTAX.md#multipaths) syntax. For backwards compatibility,
+`#[...]` will continue to work until the next major release.*
+
+## Result Type
+
+GJSON supports the json types `string`, `number`, `bool`, and `null`.
+Arrays and Objects are returned as their raw json types.
+
+The `Result` type holds one of these:
+
+```
+bool, for JSON booleans
+float64, for JSON numbers
+string, for JSON string literals
+nil, for JSON null
+```
+
+To directly access the value:
+
+```go
+result.Type // can be String, Number, True, False, Null, or JSON
+result.Str // holds the string
+result.Num // holds the float64 number
+result.Raw // holds the raw json
+result.Index // index of raw value in original json, zero means index unknown
+result.Indexes // indexes of all the elements that match on a path containing the '#' query character.
+```
+
+There are a variety of handy functions that work on a result:
+
+```go
+result.Exists() bool
+result.Value() interface{}
+result.Int() int64
+result.Uint() uint64
+result.Float() float64
+result.String() string
+result.Bool() bool
+result.Time() time.Time
+result.Array() []gjson.Result
+result.Map() map[string]gjson.Result
+result.Get(path string) Result
+result.ForEach(iterator func(key, value Result) bool)
+result.Less(token Result, caseSensitive bool) bool
+```
+
+The `result.Value()` function returns an `interface{}` which requires type assertion and is one of the following Go types:
+
+```go
+boolean >> bool
+number >> float64
+string >> string
+null >> nil
+array >> []interface{}
+object >> map[string]interface{}
+```
+
+The `result.Array()` function returns back an array of values.
+If the result represents a non-existent value, then an empty array will be returned.
+If the result is not a JSON array, the return value will be an array containing one result.
+
+### 64-bit integers
+
+The `result.Int()` and `result.Uint()` calls are capable of reading all 64 bits, allowing for large JSON integers.
+
+```go
+result.Int() int64 // -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807
+result.Uint() uint64 // 0 to 18446744073709551615
+```
+
+## Modifiers and path chaining
+
+New in version 1.2 is support for modifier functions and path chaining.
+
+A modifier is a path component that performs custom processing on the
+json.
+
+Multiple paths can be "chained" together using the pipe character.
+This is useful for getting results from a modified query.
+
+For example, using the built-in `@reverse` modifier on the above json document,
+we'll get `children` array and reverse the order:
+
+```
+"children|@reverse" >> ["Jack","Alex","Sara"]
+"children|@reverse|0" >> "Jack"
+```
+
+There are currently the following built-in modifiers:
+
+- `@reverse`: Reverse an array or the members of an object.
+- `@ugly`: Remove all whitespace from a json document.
+- `@pretty`: Make the json document more human readable.
+- `@this`: Returns the current element. It can be used to retrieve the root element.
+- `@valid`: Ensure the json document is valid.
+- `@flatten`: Flattens an array.
+- `@join`: Joins multiple objects into a single object.
+- `@keys`: Returns an array of keys for an object.
+- `@values`: Returns an array of values for an object.
+- `@tostr`: Converts json to a string. Wraps a json string.
+- `@fromstr`: Converts a string from json. Unwraps a json string.
+- `@group`: Groups arrays of objects. See [e4fc67c](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson/commit/e4fc67c92aeebf2089fabc7872f010e340d105db).
+
+### Modifier arguments
+
+A modifier may accept an optional argument. The argument can be a valid JSON
+document or just characters.
+
+For example, the `@pretty` modifier takes a json object as its argument.
+
+```
+@pretty:{"sortKeys":true}
+```
+
+Which makes the json pretty and orders all of its keys.
+
+```json
+{
+ "age":37,
+ "children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"],
+ "fav.movie": "Deer Hunter",
+ "friends": [
+ {"age": 44, "first": "Dale", "last": "Murphy"},
+ {"age": 68, "first": "Roger", "last": "Craig"},
+ {"age": 47, "first": "Jane", "last": "Murphy"}
+ ],
+ "name": {"first": "Tom", "last": "Anderson"}
+}
+```
+
+*The full list of `@pretty` options are `sortKeys`, `indent`, `prefix`, and `width`.
+Please see [Pretty Options](https://github.com/tidwall/pretty#customized-output) for more information.*
+
+### Custom modifiers
+
+You can also add custom modifiers.
+
+For example, here we create a modifier that makes the entire json document upper
+or lower case.
+
+```go
+gjson.AddModifier("case", func(json, arg string) string {
+ if arg == "upper" {
+ return strings.ToUpper(json)
+ }
+ if arg == "lower" {
+ return strings.ToLower(json)
+ }
+ return json
+})
+```
+
+```
+"children|@case:upper" >> ["SARA","ALEX","JACK"]
+"children|@case:lower|@reverse" >> ["jack","alex","sara"]
+```
+
+## JSON Lines
+
+There's support for [JSON Lines](http://jsonlines.org/) using the `..` prefix, which treats a multilined document as an array.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+{"name": "Gilbert", "age": 61}
+{"name": "Alexa", "age": 34}
+{"name": "May", "age": 57}
+{"name": "Deloise", "age": 44}
+```
+
+```
+..# >> 4
+..1 >> {"name": "Alexa", "age": 34}
+..3 >> {"name": "Deloise", "age": 44}
+..#.name >> ["Gilbert","Alexa","May","Deloise"]
+..#(name="May").age >> 57
+```
+
+The `ForEachLines` function will iterate through JSON lines.
+
+```go
+gjson.ForEachLine(json, func(line gjson.Result) bool{
+ println(line.String())
+ return true
+})
+```
+
+## Get nested array values
+
+Suppose you want all the last names from the following json:
+
+```json
+{
+ "programmers": [
+ {
+ "firstName": "Janet",
+ "lastName": "McLaughlin",
+ }, {
+ "firstName": "Elliotte",
+ "lastName": "Hunter",
+ }, {
+ "firstName": "Jason",
+ "lastName": "Harold",
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+You would use the path "programmers.#.lastName" like such:
+
+```go
+result := gjson.Get(json, "programmers.#.lastName")
+for _, name := range result.Array() {
+ println(name.String())
+}
+```
+
+You can also query an object inside an array:
+
+```go
+name := gjson.Get(json, `programmers.#(lastName="Hunter").firstName`)
+println(name.String()) // prints "Elliotte"
+```
+
+## Iterate through an object or array
+
+The `ForEach` function allows for quickly iterating through an object or array.
+The key and value are passed to the iterator function for objects.
+Only the value is passed for arrays.
+Returning `false` from an iterator will stop iteration.
+
+```go
+result := gjson.Get(json, "programmers")
+result.ForEach(func(key, value gjson.Result) bool {
+ println(value.String())
+ return true // keep iterating
+})
+```
+
+## Simple Parse and Get
+
+There's a `Parse(json)` function that will do a simple parse, and `result.Get(path)` that will search a result.
+
+For example, all of these will return the same result:
+
+```go
+gjson.Parse(json).Get("name").Get("last")
+gjson.Get(json, "name").Get("last")
+gjson.Get(json, "name.last")
+```
+
+## Check for the existence of a value
+
+Sometimes you just want to know if a value exists.
+
+```go
+value := gjson.Get(json, "name.last")
+if !value.Exists() {
+ println("no last name")
+} else {
+ println(value.String())
+}
+
+// Or as one step
+if gjson.Get(json, "name.last").Exists() {
+ println("has a last name")
+}
+```
+
+## Validate JSON
+
+The `Get*` and `Parse*` functions expects that the json is well-formed. Bad json will not panic, but it may return back unexpected results.
+
+If you are consuming JSON from an unpredictable source then you may want to validate prior to using GJSON.
+
+```go
+if !gjson.Valid(json) {
+ return errors.New("invalid json")
+}
+value := gjson.Get(json, "name.last")
+```
+
+## Unmarshal to a map
+
+To unmarshal to a `map[string]interface{}`:
+
+```go
+m, ok := gjson.Parse(json).Value().(map[string]interface{})
+if !ok {
+ // not a map
+}
+```
+
+## Working with Bytes
+
+If your JSON is contained in a `[]byte` slice, there's the [GetBytes](https://godoc.org/github.com/tidwall/gjson#GetBytes) function. This is preferred over `Get(string(data), path)`.
+
+```go
+var json []byte = ...
+result := gjson.GetBytes(json, path)
+```
+
+If you are using the `gjson.GetBytes(json, path)` function and you want to avoid converting `result.Raw` to a `[]byte`, then you can use this pattern:
+
+```go
+var json []byte = ...
+result := gjson.GetBytes(json, path)
+var raw []byte
+if result.Index > 0 {
+ raw = json[result.Index:result.Index+len(result.Raw)]
+} else {
+ raw = []byte(result.Raw)
+}
+```
+
+This is a best-effort no allocation sub slice of the original json. This method utilizes the `result.Index` field, which is the position of the raw data in the original json. It's possible that the value of `result.Index` equals zero, in which case the `result.Raw` is converted to a `[]byte`.
+
+## Get multiple values at once
+
+The `GetMany` function can be used to get multiple values at the same time.
+
+```go
+results := gjson.GetMany(json, "name.first", "name.last", "age")
+```
+
+The return value is a `[]Result`, which will always contain exactly the same number of items as the input paths.
