In jsonselect in its current form is a huge ideological problem.
In jsonselect in its current form is a huge ideological problem.
In the query language jsonselect swapped up (or mixed up) the names of the elements and classes.
For example, on page http://jsonselect.org/#tryit selector string.favoriteColor
shows yellow although ideologically correct to favoriteColor.string cause favoriteColor - name of the element, and string - his class (type).
Instead of string can be used number, array, hash, language-pseudotypes etc.
Again, that key to json should act as the names of the and types - as classes.
Take, for example jQuery and HTML DOM.
HTML has elements (such as <a>, <div>, etc.) and attributes of these elements (such as class, rel, src, id)
jQuery uses CSS Selectors. For example, to get the tag <div class="foo2"> in the following code:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div class="bar1">
<div class="foo1"></div>
</div>
<div class="bar2">
<div class="foo2"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
We can use the following selectors: div.foo2 or . bar2>. foo2 or body. foo2, etc.
In json have no attributes, such as class. There is only the element names (tags), compared with json html dom. It would be logical to use the types of classes as values.
In general, if we take the example of page http://jsonselect.org/#tryit, it should be so:
code
.languagesSpoken .lang => languagesSpoken lang
.drinkPreference :first-child => drinkPreference:first-child
.seatingPreference :nth-child(1) seatingPreference:nth-child(1)
."weight" => weight
.lang => lang
.favoriteColor => favoriteColor
string.favoriteColor => favoriteColor.string
string:last-child => .string:last-child
string:nth-child(-n+2) => .string:nth-child(-n+2)
string:nth-child(odd) => .string:nth-child(odd)
string:nth-last-child(1) => .string:nth-last-child(1)
:root => :root
number => .number
:has(:root > .preferred) => :has(:root > preferred)
.preferred ~ .lang => preferred ~ lang
:has(.lang:val("Spanish")) > .level => :has(lang:val("Spanish")) > level
.lang:val("Bulgarian") ~ .level => lang:val("Bulgarian") ~ level
.weight:expr(x<180) ~ .name .first => weight:expr(x<180) ~ name first
In the end, what we have now - like the css selectors with very confused logic. Urge to release a new edition of the standard, which will take into account this remark and focus on the new version. Because if taken as a basis jQuery / CSS selectors, you must comply with this idea.
