=====Description=====
This function extracts a single value or a JSON object/array from a node specified by [[https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath|JSONPath]].

\\ 
=====Arguments=====
^Argument^Type^Description^
|JSON_text | Text |A string representing a JSON node.  |
|JSONPath  |Text |The value or JSON object/array to be returned.  |
**Return value type:** Any (The type of the value being returned.)

\\ 
=====Remarks=====
If a result is a JSON array, it's stripped of the wrapping square brackets in order to make further splitting more convenient (e.g. using [[transformations:splitdelimitedtext|Split delimited text into columns]] or [[transformations:subfield|Split delimited text into rows]]).

\\ 
=====Examples=====
  jsonvalue('{"customer":{"ID":345}}', 'customer.ID')  //Returns 345 (Single scalar value)

  jsonvalue('{"customer":{"ID":345, "name":"Plain Jane"}}', 'customer')
      //Returns '{"ID":345, "name":"Plain Jane"}' (JSON object)

  jsonvalue('{"customerIDs":[345,346,347]}', 'customerIDs')
      //Returns '345,346,347' (JSON array stripped of brackets)
