It parses JSONPath expressions into first-class AST objects, making them easy to analyze, transform, and extend. The library supports standard JSONPath syntax plus extensions like arithmetic operators, binary comparisons, named operators, and the ability to update or remove nodes in the matched tree.\n\nYou use it by parsing a JSONPath string or building expressions programmatically, then calling find() on a JSON-like Python dict to extract matching values. The library returns match objects that preserve full path information, enabling automatic ID generation and parent traversal. It depends on ply and decorator for parsing and function decoration.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need standards-compliant JSONPath with arithmetic and comparison operators. The low install friction, permissive license, and zero security issues make it safe to add.
