Usage

The plugin requires a Source and a Query

Source: valid json string

Query: path to json token. Details here https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SelectToken.htm

Queries can be JSONPath or json property names with dot and index notation

• Dot and index notation:

  dot notation	a.b
  index notation	a['b']
  arrays	a[0]

  Note: json properties with a space must be accessed using index notation

• JSONPath: https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
