What is JSON Pointer Tester?
JSON Pointer Tester resolves RFC 6901 string pointers to identify and extract specific values within a JSON document. JSON Pointer uses slash-delimited paths (e.g., /user/roles/0) and is the official addressing syntax utilized by JSON Patch (RFC 6902) and OpenAPI specifications. Test pointer resolutions and escape characters locally with instant feedback.
