Advanced array indexing tricks like ThunderClient #8

Forked off from issue #3

The ThunderClient array indexing tricks all have JSONPATH equivalents. Since we don't evaluate the path within zzAPI ourselves and rely only on jsonpath, we can only support what jsonpath does.

Take, for example, this ThunderClient example:

json.items[type$="Food"].type

Using JSON path, this is what you would do to achieve the same:

$.items[?(@.type.endsWith('Food'))].type

Thanks for this information. 💪 I'll read more about JSONPath.
