How To Find Parentnode From Childnode In A Json Structure Using Jsonpath Or An Alternative?

I need to find out a parentNode from childNode in a JSON structure. For example I need to know what is the parent for 'view_id': 'f'. I am evaluating jsonPath but I cannot find a

Solution 1:

I found two possible solutions to this specif problem as for my understanding jsonPath does not allow me to find the parent for a node:

Solution A:

• Adding a property "parent_id" to every node in the JSON, query the JSON using jsonPath.

Solution B:

• Not using jsonPath for this task and instead keeping an in memory rap-presentation of the JSON as a "flat" array, when populating the array I can add to each node a "parent_id" as to find a child node I always need to know its parent (as suggested from comments). Any search is done on the "flat" array using JS.
