Tests for root reference in filter expressions. about json-path-comparison HOT 3 CLOSED

The closest query I can find is https://cburgmer.github.io/json-path-comparison/results/filter_expression_with_equals_with_root_reference.html which however compares the current value with the root value: $.items[?(@.key==$.value)].

Before we add your query, can I suggest to simplify? To me it seems to combine multiple scenarios:

• Dot notation
• Filter expression with root reference
• Filter expression on object

The last scenario isn't even supported uniformly I believe: $.SomeFieldB[?($.SomeFieldA == 'X')] operates on the value "Y", compare https://cburgmer.github.io/json-path-comparison/results/filter_expression_on_object.html.

Sure, it was just the example in the question. Any filter query that references the root is fine.

I think the root reference you linked to covers this case. I'm going to close this.
