All Implemented Interfaces:: Comparable<JsPath>

public final class JsPath
extends Object
implements Comparable<JsPath>

 Represents the full path location of an element in a json. It's a list of Position. Exists
 two different ways of creating a JsPath:

 - By a path-like string using the static factory method of(String), where the path follows
 the grammar:

 path: position, position.path
 position: key, index
 key: string, 'string', 'number'
 index: number
 string: non-numeric characters url-encoded  (see https://www.json.org for more details)
 number: \d+

 When the name of a key is numeric, it has to be single-quoted, to distinguish indexes from
 keys. When the key is not numeric, single quotes are completely optional.

 - By an API, using the methods key(String) and index(int). In this case, keys don't have to
 be url-encoded.

 For example, given the following Json object:

 {
 "a": { "x":[ {"c": [1,2, { "": { "1" : true, " ": false, "'": 4} }]} ]}}
 "1": null,
 "": ""
 }

 "" = ""                      //empty string is the empty key, which is a valid name for a key
 "'1'" = null                 //numeric keys have to be single-quoted
 "a.x.0.c.0" = 1
 "a.x.0.c.1" = 2
 "a.x.0.c.2..'1'" = true      // single quotes are only mandatory when the key is a number
 "a.x.0.c.2..+" = false       // + is url-decoded to the white-space
 "a.x.0.c.2..%27" = 4         // %27 is url-decoded to '

 and using the API:

 
 JsPath empty = JsPath.empty();  // doesn't represent any path
 empty.key("") = ""
 empty.key("1") = null
 empty.key("a").key("x").index(0).key("c").index(0) = 1
 empty.key("a").key("x").index(0).key("c").index(1) = 2
 empty.key("a").key("x").index(0).key("c").index(2).key("").key("1") = true
 empty.key("a").key("x").index(0).key("c").index(2).key("").key(" ") = false  //and not key("+")
 empty.key("a").key("x").index(0).key("c").index(2).key("").key("'") = 4      //and not key("%27")
