Direct answer
The most common risk when working with json-path-tester is accepting a plausible-looking result without checking parseability, key names, string escaping and data types.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: produce a result suited to the actual input and downstream use.
- Check: parseability, key names, string escaping and data types.
- Limitation: valid JSON is not the same as a valid application schema.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect parseability, key names, string escaping and data types.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a small configuration object with a name, enabled flag and nested options instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: valid JSON is not the same as a valid application schema.
