redis> JSON.SET doc . '{"a":"b","b":[{"a":2}, {"a":5}, {"a":"c"}]}'
OK


Increment a value of `a` object by 2. The command fails to find a number and returns `null`.


redis> JSON.NUMINCRBY doc $.a 2
"[null]"


Recursively find and increment a value of all `a` objects. The command increments numbers it finds and returns `null` for nonnumber values.


redis> JSON.NUMINCRBY doc $..a 2
