The JsonPath component eases JSON navigation using the JSONPath syntax as described in RFC 9535.

composer require symfony/json-path

use Symfony\Component\JsonPath\JsonCrawler;

$json = <<<'JSON'
{"store": {"book": [
    {"category": "reference", "author": "Nigel Rees", "title": "Sayings", "price": 8.95},
    {"category": "fiction", "author": "Evelyn Waugh", "title": "Sword", "price": 12.99}
]}}
JSON;

$crawler = new JsonCrawler($json);

$result = $crawler->find('$.store.book[0].title');
$result = $crawler->find('$.store.book[?match(@.author, "[A-Z].*el.+")]');
$result = $crawler->find("$.store.book[?(@.category == 'fiction')].title");

The compliance test suite is gathered from the JSONPath Test Suite.

When new commits are pushed to the upstream repository, it is necessary to gather them by following these steps:

• Update the reference field of composer.json to the latest commit hash of the jsonpath-standard/jsonpath-compliance-test-suite package
• Update the version field to the date of the commit
• Repeat the steps above for the composer.json file present at the root level of the symfony/symfony repository
• Run composer update
• Ensure the tests pass

• Documentation
• Contributing
• Report issues and send Pull Requests in the main Symfony repository
