1. Paste your JSON object into the Input box, or use the placeholder example to see the format expected.
2. Type a dot path into Option A — for example user.roles[0] to get the first role, or user.profile.email for a nested string.
3. The extracted value appears instantly in the Output panel, pretty-printed as JSON.
4. If the path resolves to undefined, double-check the key names and array indices match your actual JSON structure.
5. Click Copy to grab the extracted value for use elsewhere.

• Pull a single field like an error message or user ID out of a large API response while debugging.
• Check what a specific nested config value resolves to in a large JSON config file without scrolling through it manually.
• Verify that a webhook payload contains the field your integration expects at the path you assume it's at.
• Extract one item from an array field, like the first tag or the third address, by index.
• Teach dot-path and array-index syntax to someone learning to work with JSON APIs.

Both the JSON input and the path expression are processed in your browser's memory using built-in JavaScript — nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.

• This is a simple dot-path extractor, not full JSONPath — no wildcards, filters, slices, or recursive descent (..) are supported.
• Input must be strict, valid JSON; JSON5, comments, and trailing commas will fail to parse.
• Only one path can be evaluated at a time — there's no way to extract several fields in a single pass.
