Description

Determines whether a value is Not-a-Number (NaN) or not.

This is similar to the JavaScript isNaN.

Syntax


Code Block
isNaN(value)


Examples

Expression: isNaN(42)

Result: false


Expression: isNaN('a')

Result: true


Expression: isNaN('')

Result: false
The empty string is converted to 0 which is not NaN.

jsonPath

Description

Reads the values from the given object that match the given JSONPath. If the path is simple and does not traverse multiple paths through the object hierarchy (such as $parent.child.value), the value will be returned directly or an error will be raised if the path was not found. If the given path branches to cover multiple parts of the object hierarchy (such as $..array), an array will be returned, which may be empty if there were no matches.

Note

This return value of this function is slightly different from the one described here. Instead of returning false if a path is not found, an error will be raised.


Syntax


Code Block
jsonPath(obj, path)


Examples

Expression: This expression will return the "email_address" field in the array of objects at "$SupportTicketDefinition.partners" where the objects have a "type" property with a value of "contact".

Code Block
jsonPath($, "$SupportTicketDefinition.partners[?(value.type=='contact')].email_address")[0]

Where "$" contains:

Code Block
{
  "SupportTicketDefinition": {
    "partners": [
      {
        "type": "contact",
        "email_address": "bob@example.com"
      },
      {
        "type": "emergency",
        "email_address": "alice@example.com"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Result: "bob@example.com"

...

Description

Returns a string indicating the object type.

This is similar to the JavaScript typeof.

Syntax


Code Block
typeof item

The possible return values are: "boolean", "number", "string", "object", and "array".

Examples

Expression: typeof 'foo'

Result: string


Expression: typeof 42

Result: number


Expression: typeof true

Result: boolean


Expression: typeof $Array

where $Array contains an array

Result: array


Expression: typeof null

Result: object
