search-json

Search strings in JSON objects, also deep recursively from versions major than 1.0.2(see /example/example-deep.js)

Usage

let Search = require('search-json')
let match = Search.search(query, data, options)

Operators

Spaces (' ') in the query string are AND operators, pipes ('|') in the query string are OR operators.

Options

options: {
	deep: false, // Search deep
	keys: [] 	 // Search only in these keys
}

let Search = require('search-json')

let data = [
