What does this tool do?
JSON Path Finder scans the JSON document you paste and lists every value next to the exact access path that reaches it, such as user.address.city or items[2].id. One click copies the path, and the instant filter box lets you locate any key among hundreds of rows in a second. Everything runs in your browser, so your JSON is never sent to a server.
How to use it
- Enter your configuration details.
- Review the generated output.
- Copy the ready-to-use code or file.
How it works
The tool walks the JSON tree recursively and builds an access path for every leaf value using dot and bracket notation. Object members use the key name while array elements use a numeric index, so the resulting path drops straight into your code or a jq query. Text typed into the filter box matches against both the path and the value.
Real-world use cases
It is ideal for discovering the full path to a deeply nested field in an API response. Frontend developers quickly copy paths like response.data.attributes.title into their code, while QA engineers extract the correct path expression for assertions. It also makes locating a specific setting inside a large configuration file effortless.
Frequently asked questions
What notation is used for array elements?
Array elements use bracket notation with a zero-based index, for example orders[0].total. This format is compatible with both JavaScript and most JSONPath implementations.
Does it work on very deeply nested JSON?
Yes, the tool traverses the tree to any depth and chains each level together to produce the complete access expression. The filter lets you surface a deeply buried key instantly.
Is JSON Path Finder free?
Yes. JSON Path Finder and all 300+ tools on MagmaNex are completely free with no signup or account required.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. The data you enter is never sent to a server, stored, or shared.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. JSON Path Finder works on phones, tablets and desktops — no app download needed.
