Example
JSON
{
"one": {
"one" : 1,
"two" : 2
},
"two": {
"one" : 3,
"two" : 4
}
}Filter As Tested
Current Workaroud
Result
Expected:
Like $..one in JSONPath or ..|.one? in jq (playgrounds linked):
query..subquery returns the query filtered by the subquery and recursively applies the filter to each child. (See use cases below.)
Actual:
query..subquery returns the query filtered by the subquery and recursively applies the filter to each result. (I'm curious about potential use cases.)
Use Cases
Example JSON
Save Typing
Example: ..isarray vs .dependencies.isarray
Quickly find an item (especially using the browser extension) without traversing its parent hierarchy.
Traverse Recursive Schemas
Example: ..isobject vs ..values().isobject
Find an item that may appear arbitrarily deep (dependencies have dependencies have dependencies and so on).
Align with Prior Art
The .. operator has a history (documentation linked):
- JSONPath
- jq
- E4X (former EcmaScript standard and spiritual predecessor of the above projects as well as JSX)
