JSON.RESP

Focus mode
JSON.RESP - Amazon MemoryDB

Return the JSON value at the given path in the Valkey or Redis OSS Serialization Protocol (RESP). If the value is container, the response is RESP array or nested array.

  • JSON null is mapped to the RESP Null Bulk String.

  • JSON boolean values are mapped to the respective RESP Simple Strings.

  • Integer numbers are mapped to RESP Integers.

  • 64-bit IEEE double floating point numbers are mapped to RESP Bulk Strings.

  • JSON Strings are mapped to RESP Bulk Strings.

  • JSON Arrays are represented as RESP Arrays, where the first element is the simple string [, followed by the array's elements.

  • JSON Objects are represented as RESP Arrays, where the first element is the simple string {, followed by key-value pairs, each of which is a RESP bulk string.

Syntax

JSON.RESP <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 arrays. Each array element represents the RESP form of the value at one path.

  • Empty array if the document key does not exist.

If the path is restricted syntax:

  • Array, representing the RESP form of the value at the path.

  • Null if the document key does not exist.

Examples

Enhanced path syntax:
