Ability to change values

[rolfn]

import jsonpath_rfc9535 as jsonpath

data = { 'foo':{ 'bar': { 'baz': 42 } } }

node = jsonpath.find_one('$.foo.bar.baz', data)

print(node.value)# --> 42
print(data['foo']['bar']['baz'])# --> 42

node.value = 99

print(node.value)# --> 99
print(data['foo']['bar']['baz'])# Wish that it were 99

Reading values ​​is pleasantly simple. It would be great if writing values ​​could be just as easy. Ideally, one could simply write

node.value = 99

This would then update both "node.value" and "data['foo']['bar']['baz']" with the new value. Other syntax options would also be acceptable. Another useful addition would be "node.parent", allowing for calls like

node.parent['baz']

to be used. I prefer "jsonpath_rfc9535" because of its good syntax compatibility with the JSONpath standard.

Thank you for your helpful work.

Hi @rolfn,

Yes, node.value = ... and node.parent sound like good additions. 👍
