Class LocatePathsJsonAction

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    JSONTraverseAction, TreeTraverseAction<net.minidev.json.JSONObject,​net.minidev.json.JSONArray>

    public class LocatePathsJsonAction
    extends Object
    implements JSONTraverseAction
    Searches for paths in a JSONObject and returns those found

    A path is not removed from the user-specified list once its processing is over, because identical objects in the same array are supported by this action.

    See package-info for more details

    See unit tests for examples
