Getting bracket-notated children error

[oleg-gr]

Given this JSON object

{
  "object": {
    "0":"0",
    "1":"1",
    "2":"2",
  }
}

Trying to run

Configuration configuration = Configuration.defaultConfiguration().jsonProvider(new JacksonJsonNodeJsonProvider()).mappingProvider(new JacksonMappingProvider()).addOptions(Option.AS_PATH_LIST);
DocumentContext context = JsonPath.parse(JSON_NODE, configuration);
context.read("$.object['0', '1']")

will return [ "[$['object']['0', '1']]" ].

I believe the result should be [ "[$['object']['0']]", "[$['object']['1']]" ]

Running with the AS_PATH_LIST option should return the same number or results as running whitout.

[oleg-gr]

Isn't the call supposed to return the leaves only? It shouldn't return ['0','1'] like that, but ['0'] and ['1']

@kallestenflo Hi, any update on this issue?

[oleg-gr]

Ok, one more argument towards why the returned value should be [ "[$['object']['0']]", "[$['object']['1']]" ] and not [ "[$['object']['0', '1']]" ]

Consider

{
  "object": {
    "0":"0",
    "1": {
      "3":"4"
     },
    "2": {
      "3":"4"
     }
  }
}

Then do

Configuration configuration = Configuration.defaultConfiguration().jsonProvider(new JacksonJsonNodeJsonProvider()).mappingProvider(new JacksonMappingProvider()).addOptions(Option.AS_PATH_LIST);
DocumentContext context = JsonPath.parse(JSON_NODE, configuration);
context.read("$.object['1', '2'].3")

and as of current implementation of this library the returned paths will be [ "[$['object']['1']['3']]", "[$['object']['2']['3']]" ] and not [ "[$['object']['1', '2']['3']]" ]. I think this is inconsistent behaviour

[jochenberger]

The Jayway, Gatling and Goessner implementations have very different opinions about that one:
Jayway:

{
   "0" : "0",
   "1" : "1"
}

Gatling:

[
   "0",
   "1"
]

Goessner:

[
   "0"
]

I think I'm with @oleg-gr and Gatling on this one. The result should not include the property keys.

[kallestenflo]

I agree the current behavior is strange. It should work the same way as when multiple array indexes are specified.

$.array[1, 2].3 evaluates the same way as $.object['1', '2'].3

I think this should wait until 3.0
