jlens
JSONata for Python, with an engine written in Rust. It filters, queries and transforms JSON documents, and it can explain how a result was reached: which comparisons passed or failed, and which items a filter rejected.
pip install jlens
from jlens import Expression
expr = Expression("$sum(items[type = $kind].(price * qty))")
expr.evaluate({"items": [{"type": "a", "price": 2.5, "qty": 4}]}, {"kind": "a"}) # 10
jlens passes the official JSONata 2.2.2 test suite, and its package is typed. Wheels cover CPython 3.10 and later, and free-threaded Python 3.15 and later, on Linux, macOS and Windows. The package is in beta until jlens 1.0.
API
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
Expression(source) |
Compiles an expression; raises a JlensError on syntax errors |
expr.evaluate(input=None, bindings=None, **options) |
Evaluates against Python values, read as the expression reaches them; None when the result is undefined or null |
expr.evaluate_json(text=None, bindings=None, **options) |
The same with JSON text in and out |
Document(value), Document.from_json(text) |
A document converted once, for expr.evaluate_document(document, bindings=None, **options); shareable between threads |
expr.evaluate_with_audit(input=None, bindings=None, *, level, limits, **options) |
Result, audit tree and explanation; errors are reported, not raised |
expr.register_function(name, implementation, signature=None) |
Makes a Python callable available as $name to every evaluation |
Callables in the bindings are host functions too. The options are timeout (seconds),
max_depth, max_string_length, max_array_length, max_result_size, now and seed.
Errors are JlensError exceptions with the JSONata error code, plus position, start,
end, token and value; offsets count code points, like str indexes.
The full guide is the Python chapter of the jlens book.
