Support path expressions in object binding @Json annotations

Would be nice to be able to do say: @Json(path="level1.level2.level3") for times when JSON has nested objects but you only want to construct a flat object from it.

Hi. I have a question similar to the one above. for times when JSON has nested objects but you only want to construct a flat object from it. However, the last one is array. Add to The name of the json key is object. This is a reserved word in kotlin, so I gave it a name to replace it with another word, but it does not work.

• json { “data” { “object” : { “name” : “tester”, “images” : [ “http://www.test.com/image1”, “http://www.test.com/image2”, “http://www.test.com/image3”, “http://www.test.com/image4” ] }, “related” : { … } } }

@Json(path = “$.data.object.images[1]”) var image : String @Json(path = “$.data.object.images”) var images : JsonArray<String> @Json(name = “object”) var obj : JsonObject

Couldn't find path "$.data.object.images[0]" specified on field "image"

but @Json(paht = “$.data.object.name”) var name : String get name value : tester

I have the following working with very little changes right now:

    data class WithPath(
        val id: Int,
        @Json(path = "$.person.name")
        val name: String
    )

    fun fieldWithPath() {
        val result = Klaxon()
            .parse<WithPath>(StringReader("""{
            "id": 2,
            "person": {
               "name": "John"
            }
        }"""))
        assertThat(result).isEqualTo(WithPath(2, "John"))
    }

Trying to think of potential corner cases.
