JsonPath utility (XPath for JSON) for PHP based on **Stefan Goessner's** implementation :

C php extension is in progress [here](https://github.com/Peekmo/php-ext-jsonpath), any help is welcome :)

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

What is JsonPath ? What is the syntax ? Take a look to [Stefan Goessner's documentation](http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- That's simple ! Add this to your composer.json :

```
    "require": {
        "peekmo/jsonpath": "dev-master"
    }

```

You just have to require the vendor/autoload.php (if not already) and add the following use :

```
    use Peekmo\JsonPath\JsonStore;
```

How it works ?
--------------

[](#how-it-works-)

/!\\ API Breaking Changes with new version !

Consider this json :

```
{
    "store": {
        "book": [
            {
                "category": "reference",
                "author": "Nigel Rees",
                "title": "Sayings of the Century",
                "price": 8.95
            },
            {
                "category": "fiction",
                "author": "Evelyn Waugh",
                "title": "Sword of Honour",
                "price": 12.99
            },
            {
                "category": "fiction",
                "author": "Herman Melville",
                "title": "Moby Dick",
                "isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
                "price": 8.99
            },
            {
                "category": "fiction",
                "author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
                "title": "The Lord of the Rings",
                "isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
                "price": 22.99
            }
        ],
        "bicycle": {
            "color": "red",
            "price": 19.95
        }
    }
}

```

- Transform your json into **array** (it works with object, but use an array for better performances)
- You can get values like this :

```

```

It returns an array, you can so use default [functions](http://php.net/manual/fr/ref.array.php) on the result (Have unique key for example) From 1.1.0, it returns an empty array if the node does not exists

- You can change a value like this :

```

```

The parameter "key" is optional, a number will be set if you're not providing one. It returns a boolean to know if the node has been modified or not

- You can remove an attribute like this :

```

```
