Natural language to JSONPath — the AI JSONPath Assistant

Writing JSONPath expressions by hand can be tedious, especially for complex queries with filters, multiple conditions, or recursive descent. FormatList's AI JSONPath Assistant lets you describe what data you need in plain English and instantly generates the correct JSONPath expression.

How it works

  1. Paste your JSON — provide the JSON document you want to query.
  2. Describe what you need — write a plain English query like "get all user names" or "find products with tag tech".
  3. Generate — the assistant analyzes your JSON structure and query to produce the correct JSONPath expression.
  4. Validate & copy — the expression is automatically executed against your data and validated. Copy the JSONPath or results with one click.

What you can generate

  • Property access — "get all user names" → $.users[*].name
  • Filter conditions— "find users older than 18" → $.users[?(@.age > 18)]
  • Boolean filters — "get active user names" → $.users[?(@.active == true)].name
  • Tag searches — "find products with tag tech" → $.products[?(@.tags[*] == 'tech')]
  • Multi-tag queries — "both tech and mobile tags" → combined filter expressions
  • Kubernetes queries — "get all pod IPs" → {.items[*].status.podIP}

100% private and free

All processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server or external AI model. The assistant uses pattern matching against your JSON schema to map natural language intent to JSONPath constructs — it's fast, reliable, and completely private.

JSONPath Assistant FAQ

What is the AI JSONPath Assistant?

The AI JSONPath Assistant lets you describe what data you want in plain English and automatically generates the correct JSONPath expression. Paste your JSON, type a query like 'get all user names' or 'find users older than 18', and get the JSONPath, results, and explanation instantly.

How does the JSONPath Assistant work?

It analyzes your JSON document to understand the structure and field names, then parses your natural language query to determine what you're looking for — which array, which fields, and what conditions to apply. It generates a JSONPath expression, validates it against your data, and returns the results.

What kinds of queries can I use?

You can ask for property access ('get all user names'), filter conditions ('find users older than 18'), tag-based searches ('find products with tag tech'), multiple conditions ('users older than 18 and active'), or Kubernetes queries ('get all pod names').

Is my data sent to a server or AI model?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. The JSONPath generation uses rule-based pattern matching against your JSON structure — no data is ever sent to any external server or AI API.

How is this different from JSONPath Explainer?

The JSONPath Explainer takes a JSONPath expression and explains it in plain English. The JSONPath Assistant does the reverse — you provide a plain English description and it generates the JSONPath expression for you.
