What does JSONPath Extractor actually do?

The JSONPath tool evaluates a path expression against a JSON document and returns the matches. The dialect is the library’s JSONPath, which is not identical to every jq filter. It does not mutate the document.

When should I use JSONPath Extractor?

Use it to pull one field out of a large payload.

When should I not use JSONPath Extractor?

Do not paste a jq one-liner and expect the same operators.

What does JSONPath Extractor not do?

Not jq. Pipes and jq functions are out of scope. A path that matches nothing is an empty result, not a parse error.
