One of YAML Path's more novel capabilities, it can return the value of one key from each Hash in an Array of Hashes. Called a "pass-through" selection, this is expressed by indicating the desired sub key name from the parent Hash, omitting an element reference. For example:
warriors:
- name: Chichi Shiranui
power_level: 5280
style: Dragon fury
- name: Goku Higashi
power_level: 9001
style: Z fight
- name: Krillin Bogard
power_level: 5280
style: Fatal ball
- name: Bulma Sakazaki
power_level: 1024
style: Super final
Users could simply return the power_level
of all warriors
using warriors.power_level
or /warriors/power_level
. This gives one result per warrior
:
5280
9001
5280
1024
Contrast this with a segment specified using an element index; warriors[1].power_level
or /warriors[1]/power_level
would give just one result:
9001
