robotframework-jsonlibrary is a Robot Framework test library for manipulating JSON Object. You can manipulate your JSON object using JSONPath
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are actively using Robot Framework for API or JSON-heavy test automation and need JSONPath query support. The library is stable and permissively licensed, but the 1467-day gap since the last release means compatibility with very recent Robot Framework or Python versions should be verified before use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Robot Framework must be installed separately; the package does not declare it as an explicit dependency in the fact sheet.
- High install friction due to the distribution format (tar.gz source archive).
- The package is dormant—last release was 1467 days ago with no recent maintenance activity, though the repository remains active and marked Production/Stable.

What it is and what it does
robotframework-jsonlibrary is a Robot Framework test library that bridges Robot Framework to the jsonpath-ng parser, enabling test automation against JSON data structures. It provides keywords to load JSON from files, query values using JSONPath expressions (a syntax similar to XPath for XML), and validate JSON structure and content. The library supports adding, updating, deleting, and retrieving values from JSON objects, as well as validating JSON against schemas.
The package is intended for test automation scenarios where JSON responses or data need to be inspected and manipulated within Robot Framework test cases. It uses JSONPath syntax to navigate and operate on JSON documents. The library has been stable since its initial release but has not received updates in over three years.
Use it for
- Validate JSON responses from REST APIs in Robot Framework test cases using JSONPath queries
- Extract and assert specific values from nested JSON structures during automated testing
- Validate JSON payloads against JSON Schema definitions within test workflows
- Manipulate test data by adding or updating fields in JSON objects before sending requests
- Load and dump JSON test fixtures from files as part of test setup and teardown
