# json-pointer - RFC 6901 JSON Pointer for OCaml
2
+
3
+
A complete RFC 6901 JSON Pointer implementation for OCaml, providing parsing,
4
+
serialization, evaluation, and mutation operations compatible with jsont
5
+
codecs.
6
+
7
+
## Key Features
8
+
9
+
- Full RFC 6901 compliance with proper escape sequence handling
10
+
- Type-safe phantom types distinguish navigation vs append pointers
11
+
- Mutation operations for RFC 6902 JSON Patch support
12
+
- JMAP extended pointers (RFC 8620) with wildcard support
13
+
14
+
## Usage
15
+
16
+
```ocaml
17
+
(* Parse and evaluate a JSON Pointer *)
18
+
let json = Jsont_bytesrw.decode_string Jsont.json
19
+
{|{"foo": ["bar", "baz"], "a/b": 1}|} |> Result.get_ok
20
+
21
+
let value = Json_pointer.(get (of_string_nav "/foo/0") json)
22
+
(* value = Jsont.String ("bar", _) *)
23
+
24
+
(* Escape sequences: ~1 for /, ~0 for ~ *)
25
+
let value = Json_pointer.(get (of_string_nav "/a~1b") json)
26
+
(* value = Jsont.Number ("1", _) *)
27
+
```
28
+
29
+
Mutations for JSON Patch operations:
30
+
31
+
```ocaml
32
+
(* Add a new element to an array *)
33
+
let json' = Json_pointer.(add (of_string "/foo/-") json
34
+
~value:(Jsont.Json.string "qux"))
35
+
36
+
(* Remove an element *)
37
+
let json' = Json_pointer.(remove (of_string_nav "/foo/0") json)
38
+
```
