I think, the expected result from Proposal A is questionable in this case.
Hey @SoftCreatR, I am new here and wanted to make some online contributions. I think I am too dumb to understand the issue here. Would you mind explaining to me what exactly is needed to be done here?
Hey,
there are two types of issues: Bugs and enhancements. While bugs are typical malfunctions that should be fixed, the enhancements I'm posting are queries, where the expected results are unclear, because multiple implementations returning multiple/different results. In this cases, I expect "Proposal A" to be the correct solution: https://github.com/cburgmer/json-path-comparison/blob/master/proposals/Proposal_A/README.md
While there's no clear consensus, these enhancements are not necessarily required, but nice to have. So, if you want to contribute, you can either try fixing the bugs (there are currently 4) or find solutions, that provide the correct results, according to Proposal A.
Ok, first I am trying to understand what this library is about. You have described it as "json path implementation for PHP". My understanding of it is that you are trying devise new ways or maybe creating new syntax for the easier implementation of json. Am I right?
Maybe this original proposal helps you to understand, what JSONPath is: https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
I think I now have some understanding of JSONPath and its implementation in PHP. I went through the README.md and the PHP usage. The example implementation seems to be working fine. You said that there are bugs. Where should I go about looking for bugs?
