# @swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer

`apidom-json-pointer` is a package that evaluates [JSON Pointer](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901) against ApiDOM.

## Installation

You can install this package via [npm CLI](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli) by running the following command:

```sh
 $ npm install @swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer
```
## Evaluating

```js
import { ObjectElement } from '@swagger-api/apidom-core';
import { evaluate } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';

const apidom = new ObjectElement({ a: { b: 'c' } });
const result =  evaluate('/a/b', apidom);
// => StringElement('c')
```

## Parsing

Parses JSON Pointer into list of tokens.

```js
import { parse } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';

const tokens = parse('/a/b'); // => ['a', 'b']
```

## Compiling

Compiles list of tokens into JSON Pointer.

```js
import { compile } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';

const jsonPointer = compile(['a', 'b']); // => '/a/b'
```

## Escaping

Escapes/unescapes tokens of JSON Pointer.

```js
import { escape, unescape } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';

escape('~a/'); // => '~0a~1'
unescape('~0a~1'); // => '~a/'
```

## Transforming URI to JSON Pointer

Handles case of [URI Fragment Identifier Representation](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901#section-6).

```js
import { uriToPointer } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';

uriToPointer('https://example.com/path/#/a/b'); // => '/a/b'
```

## Invalid JSON Pointers

If invalid JSON Pointer is supplied to `parse` or `evaluate` functions, `InvalidJsonPointerError`
is thrown.

```js
import { InvalidJsonPointerError } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';
```

If valid JSON Pointer is supplied to `evaluate` function and the pointer cannot be evaluated against
ApiDOM fragment, `EvaluationJsonPointerError` is thrown.

```js
import { EvaluationJsonPointerError } from '@swagger-api/apidom-json-pointer';
```
