Yes, this link looks good to me. It's technical report, not standard
itself. So, it may have some little divergences. But it seems to be
the best free resource available, assuming standard itself isn't free.

Let me clarify my thoughts. SQL-level functions jsonb_path_*() (table
9.49) are clearly not part of jsonpath datatype. But jsonpath
accessors (table 8.25), functions (table 9.44) and operators (table
9.45) are used inside jsonpath value. So, technically they are parts
of jsonpath datatype.
