Parse and run JSONPath queries on Aeson documents.

RFC 9535 compliant JSONPath parsing and querying package. JSONPath is similar to XPath for querying XML documents.

aeson-jsonpath

Run RFC 9535 compliant JSONPath queries on Data.Aeson.

Roadmap

• [x] Selectors
  • [x] Name Selector
  • [x] Index Selector
  • [x] Slice Selector
  • [x] Wildcard Selector
  • [x] Filter Selector
• [x] Segments
  • [x] Child Segment
  • [x] Descendant Segment
• [x] Normalized Paths
• [ ] Function Extensions

I have decided not to implement Function Extension yet. Please open an issue or discussion if you'd like to see them implemented.

Quick Start

{-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-}
import Data.Aeson           (Value (..))
import Data.Aeson.QQ.Simple (aesonQQ)
import Data.Aeson.JSONPath  (query, queryLocated, jsonPath)

track = [aesonQQ| { "artist": "Duster", "title": "Earth Moon Transit" } |]

ghci> query "$.artist" track -- child member shorthand
Right [String "Duster"]

ghci> queryLocated "$.*" track -- child wildcard segment
Right [
  ("$['artist']", String "Duster"),
  ("$['title']", String "Earth Moon Transit")
]

More Examples

{-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-}
import Data.Aeson           (Value (..))
import Data.Aeson.QQ.Simple (aesonQQ)
import Data.Aeson.JSONPath  (query, queryLocated, jsonPath)

json = [aesonQQ| {
  "shop": {
    "movies": [
      {
        "title": "Mandy",
        "director": "Panos Cosmatos",
        "year": 2018
      },
      {
        "title": "Laurence Anyways",
        "director": "Xavier Dolan",
        "year": 2012
      }
    ]
  }
}|]

Child Segment

ghci> query "$.shop.movies[0].title" json
Right [String "Mandy"]

ghci> query "$.shop.movies[0].*" json
Right [
  String "Mandy",
  String "Panos Cosmatos",
  Number 2018.0
]

ghci> query "$['shop']['new-movies']" json
Right []

Descendant Segment

-- get all values with key "director", recursively
ghci> query "$..director" json
Right [
  String "Panos Cosmatos",
  String "Xavier Dolan"
]

Slice Selector

ghci> query "$[2:5]" [aesonQQ| [1,2,3,4,5,6] |]
Right [
  Number 3.0,
  Number 4.0,
  Number 5.0
]

Filter Selector

ghci> query "$.shop.movies[?@.year < 2015]" json
Right [
  Object (fromList [
    ("director",String "Xavier Dolan"),
    ("title",String "Laurence Anyways"),
    ("year",Number 2012.0)
  ])
]

ghci> queryLocated "$.shop.movies[?@.director == 'Panos Cosmatos']" json
Right [
  (
    "$['shop']['movies'][0]",
    Object (fromList [
      ("director",String "Panos Cosmatos"),
      ("title",String "Mandy"),
      ("year",Number 2018.0)
    ])
  )
]

QuasiQuoter

The functions queryQQ and queryLocatedQQ can be used with the jsonPath quasi quoter.

queryQQ [jsonPath|$.shop.movies|] json -- compiles successfully

queryQQ [jsonPath|$.shop$$movies|] json -- compilation error, doesn't parse

Testing

It is tested using 10000+ lines test suite given by jsonpath-compliance-test-suite :rocket:.

Note: All tests pass except tests related to function extensions which we have not implemented yet.

Development
