is key to parse.
</details>

## Optional arguments

<details open><summary><code>path</code></summary> 

is JSONPath to specify. Default is root `$`. This command uses the following mapping from JSON to RESP:

*   JSON `null` maps to the bulk string reply.
*   JSON `false` and `true` values map to the simple string reply.
*   JSON number maps to the integer reply or bulk string reply, depending on type.
*   JSON string maps to the bulk string reply.
*   JSON array is represented as an array reply in which the first element is the simple string reply `[`, followed by the array's elements.
*   JSON object is represented as an array reply in which the first element is the simple string reply `{`. Each successive entry represents a key-value pair as a two-entry array reply of the bulk string reply.

For more information about replies, see [Redis serialization protocol specification](/docs/reference/protocol-spec).
