java - JsonPath - how to read attributes from different level -

i try use jsonpath extract values attributes @ different levels of json object.

here's object:

{     "a": [         {             "b": "0",             "c": "1",             "d": {                 "e" : "2",                 "f" : "3",             }         },         {             "b": "4",             "c": "5",             "d": {                 "e" : "6",                 "f" : "7",             }         }     ] } 

and extract in same time b , e values

to b, easy : $.a[*].b

to e, easy : $.a[*].d.e

to b , c, easy using bracket-notated children operator : $.a[*]['b', 'c']

but b , e in same time, don't correct expression. expect have :

[    { "b":"0", "e" : "2"},    { "b":"4", "e" : "7"}  ] 

does have correct expression?

thanks

e.

use expression: $.a.[b,e]

notice dot between a , [b,e] tell needs search children of a.
