Array slice on object, scalar response or not?

[cburgmer]

Running the array slice operator (e.g. $[1:3]) against an object (e.g. {}) currently returns null (see https://cburgmer.github.io/json-path-comparison/results/array_slice_on_object.html#Kotlin_com.nfeld.jsonpathlite).

As a user I would probably expect [] instead, considering the query is supposed to return multiple matches?

I'm not sure I understand your answer.

The link mentions all implementations, but the anchor highlights the Kotlin example, which is why I'm raising the issue here.

sorry @cburgmer . I was wrong. My fault.

Hi again, yes you're right, makes sense to return [] in this case

This is addressed now for the upcoming version 2.0.0 release. I did a similar change for selectors like $[1,2,3] on a JSON object

2.0.0 is now released addressing this issue, closing
