A lightweight and powerful JSONPath implementation for Python.

## Why jsonpath-python?

There are already several JSONPath libraries in Python, so why choose this one?

1.  **Lightweight & Zero Dependency**: Unlike `jsonpath-ng` which relies on complex AST parsing frameworks like `ply`, `jsonpath-python` is implemented with pure Python string parsing. It has **zero third-party dependencies**, making it incredibly easy to integrate into any environment.
2.  **Simple & Pythonic**: The implementation is...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Extracts, filters, sorts, and updates values in JSON data using JSONPath expressions, with zero runtime dependencies and pure Python parsing.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained JSONPath library with zero dependencies, MIT licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. Well-suited for straightforward JSON querying and manipulation in Python 3.8+.
