Description
Currently the "empty" JsonPointer instance (obtained by JsonPointer.empty() or trying to compile empty String (zero-length)) is distinct from one that matches empty property name, /, regarding behavior.
Empty JsonPointer matches the current node whereas one with "empty property" would match value of JSON Object with empty String. Specifically, for JSON Object like:
{ "" : "text" }JsonPointer.empty()would match JSON Object itselfJsonPointer.compile("")would match the String valuetext
However: currently (as of 2.13), empty JsonPointer:
- Returns '""' for
getMatchingProperty() - Retuns
trueformayMatchProperty() - But does NOT actually match with
matchProperty("")
Of these, first 2 cases should be fixed.
It is understood that there may be backwards-compatibility challenges in changing the behavior: however, handling of the "empty" JsonPointer is important for proper handling of traversal.
