Usage

Parse a pointer:

var pointer = JsonPointer.Parse("/objects/and/3/arrays");

Build it manually:

var pointer = JsonPointer.Create("object", "and", 3, "arrays");

Or generate using an LINQ expression:

var pointer = JsonPointer.Create<MyObject>(x => x.objects.and[3].arrays);

Use the pointer to query JsonElement:

using var element = JsonDocument.Parse("{\"objects\":{\"and\":[\"item zero\",null,2,{\"arrays\":\"found me\"}]}}");
var result = pointer.Evaluate(element.RootElement);
// result: "found me"

or JsonNode:

var element = JsonNode.Parse("{\"objects\":{\"and\":[\"item zero\",null,2,{\"arrays\":\"found me\"}]}}");
var success = pointer.TryEvaluate(element, out var result);
// success: true
// result: "found me"
