Module ijson 

Incremental JSON (iJSON): path-based operations on JSON data. Port of Go’s pkg/ijson/ijson.go.

iJSON allows expressing JSON updates as a series of commands:

• set: Set a value at a path
• del: Delete a value at a path
• append: Append a value to an array at a path

Paths are arrays of string keys and integer indices, e.g.: ["users", 0, "name"] refers to data.users[0].name

Structs

path_to_values 🔒

Convert Path to JSON values for serialization.

set_path

Set a value at the specified path within JSON data. Creates intermediate objects/arrays as needed. Returns the modified data.
