//! JSONPath expression evaluation and validation.

/// Evaluates a JSONPath query against the AST, returning all matching nodes.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `node` - A reference to the root `JsonNode` to query.
/// * `path` - The JSONPath expression string slice (e.g. `$.store.book[*].author`).
///
/// # Returns
///
/// * `Ok(Vec<JsonNode>)` - A list of JSON nodes that match the query.
/// * `Err(String)` - An error message indicating the JSONPath syntax is invalid.

/// Validates the syntax of a JSONPath expression without evaluating it against a document.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `path` - The JSONPath expression string slice to validate.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A list of `Diagnostic` errors found in the path syntax. If the path is valid, this is empty.
