JSON Key & Value Search

Why use a structural search instead of Ctrl+F?

Standard browser text searches (Ctrl+F) check values in flat lines without displaying their nested parent keys. If you match a string like "Boston", you won't easily see its parent object or index hierarchy. The JSON Search tool scans structural paths, giving you a list of matching keys/values with their dot-notation paths.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enter baseline JSON: Paste or load your configuration data into the left panel.
2. Enter search query: Type the keyword you want to locate inside the Search Query field.
3. Toggle Options: Check Case Sensitive if you want capital letters to match exactly.
4. Copy Paths: Hover over any result card on the right, click it, and copy the dot path coordinate instantly to your clipboard.

Understanding Result Types

• Key Match: The parameter key name matches your query text.
• Value Match: The string, number, or boolean value inside a node matches your query text.

Result Output Example

1. [Key Match]
Path: environment.activeStatus
Value: true

2. [Value Match]
Path: author.role
