parse

fun parse(@Language(value = "JSONPath") text: String): BsonPath(source)

Parses an RFC-9535 compliant string expression into a BsonPath instance.

This function is the mirror of the BsonPath.toString methods.

Warning. Not everything from the RFC is implemented at the moment. As a rule of thumb, if text can be returned by the BsonPath.toString function of a segment, then it can be parsed by this function.

Syntax	Description
`$`	The root identifier. See BsonPath.Root.
`['foo']` or `.foo`	Accessor for a field named `foo`. See BsonPath.get.
`[0]`	Accessor for the first item of an array. See BsonPath.get.

Examples

val document: Bson = …

val id: Uuid = document at BsonPath.parse("$.profile.id")

for (user in document.select<User>("$.friends")) {
    println("User: $user")
}
