Arbitrarily long nested json shortcuts x level deep

[boulderob]

This project looks very useful. Thanks!

If I have a very deeply nested json source, is it possible with your utility to do the following and if so how:

• Say I have 15 level deep nested json with very long convoluted key names that I didn't create and are hard to read and type. If I know that the key values I want are somewhere around level 12 or greater deep, is it possible to just arbitrarily tell your command to immediately display and start filtering the obj at level 12 by passing "12" somehow to the utility?
• If not any "tricks" for using the utility to get to level 12 "arbitrarily" and as quickly as possible?

Basically I'm trying to find a way to just skip all the stuff I don't care about and get to what I want in a rather convoluted and perhaps undocumented json structure quickly.

Regardless of whether I use a "shortcut" like sought above or some longer method to get to level 12 and the key value(s) that I want, once I get there:

• is there any quick way to simply print out the full and real obj dot path (ie obj.key1.key2.[index].key3...) immediately vs having to grok it from whatever "foo" i used to get there which may not be valid native language obj syntax for accessing the real item later in code?

Thanks

It’s just JavaScript) write it in js.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess I'm having a hard time visualizing how to do this in pure js code so chaining it inline here seems only that much harder. I presume I would recursively keep a counter and just dive down x levels? How do I recursively accumulate the path though and print out the final path after the recursion is done and append the additional path I choose from x arbitrary paths after the initial recursion gets me to the level I want? I hope that makes sense

That’s up to you to figure it out.
