Return the value at `path` in JSON serialized form

[Examples](#examples)

## Required arguments

<details open><summary><code>key</code></summary> 

is key to parse.
</details>

## Optional arguments

<details open><summary><code>path</code></summary> 

is JSONPath to specify. Default is root `$`. JSON.GET accepts multiple `path` arguments.



When using a single JSONPath, the root of the matching values is a JSON string with a top-level **array** of serialized JSON value. 
In contrast, a legacy path returns a single value.

When using multiple JSONPath arguments, the root of the matching values is a JSON string with a top-level **object**, with each object value being a top-level array of serialized JSON value.
In contrast, if all paths are legacy paths, each object value is a single serialized JSON value.
If there are multiple paths that include both legacy path and JSONPath, the returned value conforms to the JSONPath version (an array of values).



</details>

<details open><summary><code>INDENT</code></summary> 

sets the indentation string for nested levels.
</details>

<details open><summary><code>NEWLINE</code></summary> 

sets the string that's printed at the end of each line.
</details>

<details open><summary><code>SPACE</code></summary> 

sets the string that's put between a key and a value.
</details>
 
Produce pretty-formatted JSON with `redis-cli` by following this example:


~/$ redis-cli --raw
redis> JSON.GET myjsonkey INDENT "\t" NEWLINE "\n" SPACE " " path.to.value[1]


## Examples

<details open>
<summary><b>Return the value at <code>path</code> in JSON serialized form</b></summary>

Create a JSON document.


redis> JSON.SET doc $ '{"a":2, "b": 3, "nested": {"a": 4, "b": null}}'
OK


With a single JSONPath (JSON array bulk string):


redis>  JSON.GET doc $..b
"[3,null]"


Using multiple paths with at least one JSONPath returns a JSON string with a top-level object with an array of JSON values per path:


redis> JSON.GET doc ..a $..b
"{\"$..b\":[3,null],\"..a\":[2,4]}"

## Return information

{{< multitabs id="json-get-return-info"
    tab1="RESP2"
    tab2="RESP3" >}}

[Bulk string reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#bulk-strings): a JSON-encoded string representing the value(s) at the specified path(s).

With a single path, returns the JSON serialization of the value at that path.
With multiple paths, returns a JSON object where each key is a path and each value is an array of JSON serializations.

-tab-sep-

[Bulk string reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#bulk-strings): a JSON-encoded string with a top-level array containing the value(s) at the specified path(s).

With a single path using `$` (default in RESP3), returns a JSON array containing the serialized value.
With multiple paths, returns a JSON object where each key is a path and each value is an array of JSON serializations.
