Get value from object

Function: Get value from object

This function helps you extract a specific piece of information from a larger collection of data, often referred to as an "object." Think of an object as a structured record, like a customer profile, an order form, or a product listing, which contains various details. You tell the system exactly where to look within this object using a special "address" called a Jsonpath, and it will retrieve that specific value for you.

Input,

• Object (Type: OBJECT) The main collection of data (like a record or a data entry) from which you want to extract information. This could be a customer's details, a product's specifications, or any other structured data you're working with.
• Jsonpath (Type: STRING) This is the "address" or "path" you provide as text to pinpoint the exact piece of information you want to retrieve within your Object. For example, if your object contains customer details, a Jsonpath might be $.customer.email to get the customer's email address. This input is required.

Output,

• Result (Type: VARIABLE) This is the specific piece of data that was found at the Jsonpath you provided within the Object. If the path doesn't lead to any data, the Result will be empty or null.
