9.6.0
As at baseline
JSON.jsonValue(pathStr)
New to v9.6.0, .jsonValue() allows a json object to be addressed by its JSON path. By comparison .json[keyStr] must use a key name. For example:
Text: {
"person": { "firstName": "Thomas", "lastName": "Roe" },
"coordinates": [-90,41]
}
MyString: "person.lastName"Then:
$Text.json['person']['lastName'] gives 'Roe'
But, easier:
$Text.json.jsonValue(person.lastName) gives 'Roe'
$Text.json.jsonValue($MyString) gives 'Roe' (in v9.6.0+)
