Greetings! Long time no see, I know. How are you, Hackers?
I notice from the docs in the Postgres JSONPath type, brackets are described as:
> • Square brackets ([]) are used for array access.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html#DATATYPE-JSONPATH
Notably they are not used for object field path specifications, in contrast to the original JSON Path design, which
says:
> JSONPath expressions can use the dot–notation
>
> $.store.book[0].title
>
> or the bracket–notation
>
> $['store']['book'][0]['title']
https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/index.html#e2
Similarly, the current IETF RFC Draft says:
> JSONPath expressions use the _bracket notation_, for example:
>
> $['store']['book'][0]['title']
>
> or the more compact _dot notation_, for example:
>
> $.store.book[0].title
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jsonpath-base/
My question: Are there plans to support square bracket syntax for JSON object field name strings like this? Or to
updateto follow the standard as it’s finalized?
Thanks,
David
