# json-pointer
A crate for parsing and using JSON pointers, as specified in RFC 6901.

## Creating a JSON Pointer
JSON pointers can be created with a literal `[&str]`, or parsed from a `String`.
```rust
let from_strs = JsonPointer::new([
"foo"
"bar",
]);
let parsed = "/foo/bar".parse::<JsonPointer<_, _>>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(from_strs.unwrap(), parsed.unwrap());
```
## Using a JSON Pointer
The `JsonPointer` type provides `.get()` and `.get_mut()`, to get references
and mutable references to the appropriate value, respectively.
```rust
// where ptr is either of the JsonPointers from above.
let document = json!({
"foo": {
"bar": 0,
"baz": 1,
},
"quux": "xyzzy"
});
let indexed = ptr.get(&document).unwrap();
assert_eq!(indexed, &json!(0));
```
