In the same way in C# and other implementations for validation and verification there is a way to translate the JSON string to a JSON object to verify the syntax is correct, because there are many ways of writing a JSON string that is not valid JSON. ------------------------------ Kind regards, Simon ...

If the path is then revisited ...

You should see in my last response that I copied your code and the only difference is the path which was returned by 'Copy path to node' and it still returns null. ------------------------------ Kind regards, Simon Platten ------------------------------
