# StatusBarJsonPath
Sublime Text plugin to get the JSONPath (a notation to access the item) under the cursor in a JSON.

The plugin also includes a command _JSONPath: Copy_ to copy the displayed path to the clipboard.

## Example

Given the following JSON object:
```
{
	"name": "Hello World",
	"tags": [
		"example"
	],
	"metadata": {
		"author": "Alex Kirk"
	}
}
```
In this scenario the plugin will display/copy the following JSONPaths (all directly queryable in [`jq`](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) for matching results):

- Cursor inside "name": `.name`
- Cursor inside "Hello World": `.name`
- Cursor inside "tags": `.tags`
- Cursor inside "example": `.tags[0]`
- Cursor inside "metadata": `.metadata`
- Cursor inside "author": `.metadata.author`
