JSON.OBJLEN

Focus mode
JSON.OBJLEN - Amazon MemoryDB

Get number of keys in the object values at the path.

Syntax

JSON.OBJLEN <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 object length at each path.

  • If a value is not an object, its corresponding return value is null.

  • Null if the document key does not exist.

If the path is restricted syntax:

  • Integer, number of keys in the object.

  • If multiple objects are selected, the command returns the first object's length.

  • WRONGTYPE error if the value at the path is not an object.

  • WRONGTYPE error if the path does not exist.

  • Null if the document key does not exist.

Examples

Enhanced path syntax:
