// Using a string with . as a separator
const key = "hello.world.another.object";
console.log(json.getPath(obj, key)); // javascript

// Using a string with a custom separator
const key = "hello/world/another/object";
console.log(json.getPath(obj, key, "/")); // javascript

// Using a an array
const key = ["hello", "world", "another", "object"];
console.log(json.getPath(obj, key)); // javascript

// commonjs
//const json = require("@iaverage/json")
// module
