jemag / jsonpath.nvim

A Neovim plugin to help you access JSON values, powered by treesitter

This is a Neovim-only plugin containing a function to return a path to access the value under the cursor by using treesitter. It may help you understand how to access even deeply nested values in JSON files.

A "JSON path" is a jq-like expression, such as . for root, .[0] for the first array item, .name for the property "name" of an object.
