/* jsonQuery - simple path syntax for retrieving specific descendants of a jsonElement. */

/* Path examples:
 *
 * "" --> the queried object itself (no-op)
 *
 * "name" --> the value of the "name" field/child of queried object
 *
 * "[0]" --> first element of the queried list
 *
 * "[*]" --> all elements of the queried list
 *
 * "name1.name2[4]" --> 5th element of list that is the value for "name2" child of object
 * that is the value for "name1" child of queried object
 *
 * "primary_snapshot_data.support[id.type=subsnp].submitter_handle" --> dbSNP submitter handles
 * for subsnp (not frequency) submissions
 *
 * See lib/tests/input/json* and lib/tests/expected/json* for more examples with both JSON & paths.
