selectn seems to be faster than json-path for path parsing

[sam-w]

I upgraded from 3.x to 5.x and initially took the easy way out of npm install selectn, as suggested, for path parsing. More recently, I got around to looking into using json-path instead, and noticed that it takes between 1.2 and 3x as long, depending on the number of evaluations being performed!

Is this expected? Is there any drawback to sticking with selectn? Happy to provide exact rules and code if required.

my gut feeling tells me that json-path is the wrong tool for the job. json path is quite extensive in the slicing and dicing of the object, all the things we would "normally" not need if we just want to access the property

This issue can be solved via the pathResolver feature now available v6.0.0. See changelog for details.
