Description: JMESPath
        ========
        
        JMESPath (pronounced "jaymz path") allows you to declaratively specify how to
        extract elements from a JSON document.
        
        For example, given this document::
        
            {"foo": {"bar": "baz"}}
        
        The jmespath expression ``foo.bar`` will return "baz".
        
        JMESPath also supports:
        
        Referencing elements in a list.  Given the data::
        
            {"foo": {"bar": ["one", "two"]}}
        
        The expression: ``foo.bar[0]`` will return "one".
        You can also reference all the items in a list using the ``*``
        syntax::
        
           {"foo": {"bar": [{"name": "one"}, {"name": "two"}]}}
        
        The expression: ``foo.bar[*].name`` will return ["one", "two"].
        Negative indexing is also supported (-1 refers to the last element
        in the list).  Given the data above, the expression
        ``foo.bar[-1].name`` will return ["two"].
        
        The ``*`` can also be used for hash types::
        
           {"foo": {"bar": {"name": "one"}, "baz": {"name": "two"}}}
        
        The expression: ``foo.*.name`` will return ["one", "two"].
        
        **NOTE: jmespath is being actively developed.  There are a number
        of features it does not currently support that may be added in the
        future.**
        
        
        Specification
        =============
        
        The grammar is specified using ABNF, as described in `RFC4234`_.
        You can find the most up to date grammar for JMESPath
        `here <http://jmespath.readthedocs.org/en/latest/specification.html#grammar>`__.
        
        You can read the full JMESPath specification
        `here http://jmespath.readthedocs.org/en/latest/specification.html`__.
        
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        In addition to the unit tests for the jmespath modules,
        there is a ``tests/compliance`` directory that contains
        .json files with test cases.  This allows other implementations
        to verify they are producing the correct output.  Each json
        file is grouped by feature.
        
        Python Library
        ==============
        
        The included python implementation has two convenience functions
        that operate on python data structures.  You can use ``search``
        and give it the jmespath expression and the data::
        
            >>> import jmespath
            >>> path = jmespath.search('foo.bar', {'foo': {'bar': 'baz'}})
            'baz'
        
        Similar to the ``re`` module, you can store the compiled expressions
        and reuse them to perform repeated searches::
        
            >>> import jmespath
            >>> path = jmespath.compile('foo.bar')
            >>> path.search({'foo': {'bar': 'baz'}})
            'baz'
            >>> path.search({'foo': {'bar': 'other'}})
            'other'
        
        You can also use the ``jmespath.parser.Parser`` class directly
        if you want more control.
