This has introduced breaking changes in 2.7.0 vs 2.6.0. For instance now set throws and exception when the path is not present in the target JSON.
I can't find any explanation of why this change was introduced or whether the project follows semantic versioning, so I'd really appreciate some clarification on those topics 🙇

@r0goyal @abelsromero Maybe we should add an option to create an absent path, to handle each of use cases. But at least I'd wanted to get any ideas of what exact problem this PR solves to get more context on this.

I found another change in behavior from this change. The following snippet used to return null under 2.6.0 and it now fails under 2.7.0. Since SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS is configured, I would have expected no exceptions to be propagated.

        final String json = "{\"value\" :  null}";
        final Configuration configuration = Configuration.builder()
                .jsonProvider(new JsonOrgJsonProvider())
                .mappingProvider(new JsonOrgMappingProvider())
                .options(Option.SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS).build();
        String value = JsonPath.using(configuration).parse(json).read("$.value");
        System.out.println(value);

2.6.0 value = null
2.7.0

My main concern with this is the "surprise factor" at the end of the day, we dealt with it, but after some head bashing.
Being blunt here, apologies in advance, "are breaking changes possible in any version release?"
