StatusBarJsonPath

Sublime Text plugin to get the JSONPath (a notation to access the item) under the cursor in a JSON.

The plugin also includes a command JSONPath: Copy to copy the displayed path to the clipboard.

Example

Given the following JSON object:

{
	"name": "Hello World",
	"tags": [
		"example"
	],
	"metadata": {
		"author": "Alex Kirk"
	}
}

In this scenario the plugin will display/copy the following JSONPaths:

• Cursor inside "name": name
• Cursor inside "Hello World": name

• Cursor inside "example": tags[0]
• Cursor inside "metadata": metadata
