What JSONPath syntax is supported?

The tool supports the most common JSONPath operators: $ (root), . (child), [] (subscript), * (wildcard for all children), [n] (array index), and .. (recursive descent). It covers the vast majority of real-world JSONPath use cases.

Yes. $.store.book[*].title selects the title of every book in the array. The wildcard * works for both objects and arrays.

What is recursive descent (..) used for?

The .. operator searches through all levels of nesting. For example, $..author finds every author value anywhere in the JSON structure, regardless of depth.
