What Is JSON Pointer?

JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) is a standard syntax for identifying specific values in a JSON document. Pointers use slash-separated tokens (e.g., /store/book/0/title) and are used in JSON Patch, OpenAPI, and JSON Schema.

  • JSON Patch: Targeting values for patching.
  • OpenAPI: Referencing schema components.
  • JSON Schema: Pointing to sub-schemas.

How to Test a JSON Pointer

  1. Enter the JSON Pointer starting with / on the first line.
  2. Paste your JSON data below the pointer.
  3. Click Evaluate Pointer to see the resolved value.
