Example: Extract a property from an object

1. Create an Object Block with the following JSON:

   {
     "name": "John Doe",
     "age": 30
   }
   

2. Add an Extract Object Path Block and connect the Object Block to it.
3. Set the Path of the Extract Object Path Block to $.name.
4. Run the flow. The Extract Object Path Block should output John Doe.

​

Error Handling

• If the path is invalid or not provided, the block will throw an error
• If the path is valid but no value is found, the match output will be control-flow-excluded and the all_matches output will run with an empty array
• If the input object is undefined or null, it will be treated as null for the JSONPath query
