JSON Path (Dictionary)

Collects the parts specified by JSONPaths from a JSON column. For those parts that cannot be found or have incompatible types, missing values will be returned.

Example input table:

column name	path	type
bookyear	$.book[*].year	List(Double)
invalidyear	$.book[2].year	Double
timeline	$.book[?(@.year==1999)].title	String
paths	$..*	List(Path)

Example input:

{"book": [
  {"year": 1999,
   "title": "Timeline",
   "author": "Michael Crichton"},
  {"year": 2000,
   "title": "Plain Truth",
   "author": "Jodi Picoult"}
]}

The results look like this:

bookyear	invalidyear	timeline
{1999, 2000}	?	Timeline

The paths column contains the following values (String list): $['book'], $['book'][0], $['book'][1], $['book'][0]['year'], $['book'][0]['title'], $['book'][0]['author'], $['book'][1]['year'], $['book'][1]['title'], $['book'][1]['author']
