# Basic property access:
$.token                        -> eyJhbGci... (the full JWT)
$.status                       -> success
$.user.id                      -> 42
$.user.name                    -> Priya Sharma
$.user.email                   -> priya@example.com

# Nested object:
$.user.settings.theme          -> dark
$.user.settings.notifications  -> true

# Array access by index (0-based):
$.user.roles[0]                -> admin
$.user.roles[1]                -> tester
$.orders[0].orderId            -> ORD-001
$.orders[1].total              -> 3200

# Array wildcard (all elements):
$.orders[*].orderId            -> ORD-001, ORD-002, ORD-003
$.orders[*].status             -> delivered, pending, delivered

# Array filter (conditional):
$.orders[?(@.status=="delivered")].orderId  -> ORD-001, ORD-003
$.orders[?(@.total>1000)].orderId           -> ORD-001, ORD-002

# Last element:
$.orders[-1].orderId           -> ORD-003

# Recursive descent (find anywhere in tree):
$..orderId                     -> ORD-001, ORD-002, ORD-003
$..email                       -> priya@example.com

# In one JSON Extractor:
# Names of created variables:  auth_token;user_id;user_name
# JSON Path Expressions:       $.token;$.user.id;$.user.name
# Default Values:              NO_TOKEN;NO_ID;NO_NAME

# This creates three variables in one step:
# ${auth_token} = eyJhbGci...
# ${user_id}    = 42
# ${user_name}  = Priya Sharma

# Without this, you would need three separate JSON Extractors!

# JSONPath: $.orders[*].orderId
# Match No.: -1
# Variable: order_id

# Creates:
# ${order_id_1}       = ORD-001
# ${order_id_2}       = ORD-002
# ${order_id_3}       = ORD-003
# ${order_id_matchNr} = 3

# To use a random order in a subsequent request:
# ${__V(order_id_${__Random(1,${order_id_matchNr})})}

# To iterate through all orders, use ForEach Controller:
# Input Variable Prefix:  order_id
# Output Variable Name:   current_order
# Then inside the loop, use ${current_order}
