Nested JSON Example: Objects Inside Objects and Arrays

The example

The JSON above is the example. Explore it in the Tree tab, press Download to save it as a .json file, or Share to send someone a link to it. All names, ids, emails and values are invented.

Fields explained

Path	Type	Notes
`company`	object	The root of the structure.
`company.departments`	array of objects	Each department has a name and a list of teams.
`company.departments[].teams`	array of objects	Teams belong to a department.
`company.departments[].teams[].members`	array of objects	People, the deepest level here.

Read it in code

JavaScript:

const first = data.company.departments[0].teams[0].members[0].name; // "Ada"

Python:

first = data["company"]["departments"][0]["teams"][0]["members"][0]["name"]  # Ada

What this example is good for

Learning JSONPath: $..members[*].name finds every member at any depth
Practising tree navigation and copying paths
Testing code that walks recursive structures

Tips

Deep nesting is easy to read in a tree but awkward in code; flatten it when you can.
Use the copy path button in the tree to get the exact path of any value.
