Extracting values from keys which have dot operator in their name.

[johnnash03]

This is problematic because path uses dot operator to traverse through child.So, what should be the template to extract "NAME" from the data below.

{
  "DATA": {
      "ALLNAMES": [
        {
          "LANGUAGENAME.LIST": {
            "NAME.LIST": {
              "NAME": "QWE"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "LANGUAGENAME.LIST": {
            "NAME.LIST": {
              "NAME": "ZXC"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
  }
}

@johnnash03 great use case. You could update the path pattern to accommodate this. For example, maybe the path could have square brackets around an attribute name that has a dot in it.

Example path: DATA.ALLNAMES[LANGUAGENAME.LIST][NAME.LIST]

If you had an attribute name with square brackets in it, just put it in square brackets too:

Example data:

{
  "DATA": {
      "[ALLNAMES]": []
  }
}

Example path: DATA[[ALLNAMES]]

You'd have to update the path parsing code and submit a pull request.

Are you up for it?

@johnnash03 did you find a way around this?
