What is @types/json-pointer?

@types/json-pointer provides TypeScript type definitions for the json-pointer library, which allows you to manipulate JSON data using JSON Pointers as defined in RFC 6901.

What are @types/json-pointer's main functionalities?

Get a value from a JSON object using a JSON Pointer

This feature allows you to retrieve a value from a JSON object using a JSON Pointer string.

const jsonPointer = require('json-pointer');
const obj = { foo: { bar: 'baz' } };
const value = jsonPointer.get(obj, '/foo/bar');
console.log(value); // 'baz'

Set a value in a JSON object using a JSON Pointer

This feature allows you to set a value in a JSON object at the location specified by a JSON Pointer string.

const jsonPointer = require('json-pointer');
const obj = { foo: { bar: 'baz' } };
jsonPointer.set(obj, '/foo/bar', 'qux');
console.log(obj.foo.bar); // 'qux'

Remove a value from a JSON object using a JSON Pointer

This feature allows you to remove a value from a JSON object at the location specified by a JSON Pointer string.

const jsonPointer = require('json-pointer');
const obj = { foo: { bar: 'baz' } };
jsonPointer.remove(obj, '/foo/bar');
console.log(obj.foo.bar); // undefined

Create a JSON Pointer from an array of tokens

This feature allows you to create a JSON Pointer string from an array of tokens.

const jsonPointer = require('json-pointer');
const pointer = jsonPointer.compile(['foo', 'bar']);
console.log(pointer); // '/foo/bar'

Parse a JSON Pointer into an array of tokens

This feature allows you to parse a JSON Pointer string into an array of tokens.

const jsonPointer = require('json-pointer');
const tokens = jsonPointer.parse('/foo/bar');
console.log(tokens); // ['foo', 'bar']
