Add function support for evaluating a dynamic path against a payload. #377

Closed rbiw closed 1 year ago

rbiw commented 6 years ago

Add a function to support evaluating JSON path against JSON payloads, XPath against XML payloads, and perhaps Regex against String payloads. Make it generic to handle extension in future for other payload types.

Discussed briefly on Slack with @sanjiva

Hi @rbiw, thanks for the suggestion and we will consider this for one of our future release. In case you are interested, you can easily implement it by writing native functions which wraps java code. Then you can publish it to Ballerina central so that everyone can benefit from it.

Please refer following links where you can get an idea about how to implement native functions.

Also please refer the contributing guide as well.

In addition to these it would be nice to support the query languages XQuery and JSONiq for XML and JSON.

Closing this issue as Ballerina has other ways to navigate JSON and XML. Besides, this is not a HTTP module related issue.
