# JSON.ARRLEN
<a name="json-arrlen"></a>

Get length of the array values at the path.

Syntax

```
JSON.ARRLEN <key> [path] 
```
+ key (required) – key of JSON document type
+ path (optional) – a JSON path. Defaults to the root if not provided

**Return**

If the path is enhanced syntax:
+ Array of integers, representing the array length at each path.
+ If a value is not an array, its corresponding return value is null.
+ Null if the document key does not exist.

If the path is restricted syntax:
+ Array of bulk strings. Each element is a key name in the object.
+ Integer, array length.
+ If multiple objects are selected, the command returns the first array's length.
+ `WRONGTYPE` error if the value at the path is not an array.
+ `WRONGTYPE` error if the path does not exist.
+ Null if the document key does not exist.

**Examples**

 Enhanced path syntax:

```

(error) SYNTAXERR Failed to parse JSON string due to syntax error
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.SET k1 . '[[], ["a"], ["a", "b"], ["a", "b", "c"]]'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.ARRLEN k1 $[*]
1) (integer) 0
2) (integer) 1
3) (integer) 2
4) (integer) 3

127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.SET k2 . '[[], "a", ["a", "b"], ["a", "b", "c"], 4]'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.ARRLEN k2 $[*]
1) (integer) 0
2) (nil)
3) (integer) 2
4) (integer) 3

(integer) 0
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.ARRLEN k1 $[3]
1) (integer) 3

127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.SET k2 . '[[], "a", ["a", "b"], ["a", "b", "c"], 4]'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.ARRLEN k2 [*]
