existsByPath
The existsByPath method checks whether a specified path exists in the JSON object.
Syntax
existsByPath( path )
Arguments
| Argument | Description | 
|---|---|
| path | (string) The path to check. Construct the path from array indexes and object attribute names, and use a slash ( /) as the separator. If an object attribute name includes a slash, then escape the slash with a backslash, for example"one\\/two". Notice that you must also escape a backslash with another backslash. | 
Returns
(Boolean) Returns true if the path exists, false otherwise.
Example
Consider the following JSON:
{
  "product": "IDOL",
  "component": "CFS",
  "version": { "major": 11, "minor": 3 },
  "ports": [
    { "type": "ACI", "number": 7000 },
    { "type": "Service", "number": 17000 }
  ]
}
                                                If this JSON is represented by an object named myJsonObject, you could use the existsByPath method as follows:
print (myJsonObject:existsByPath("ports/0/type"))
-- true (LuaJsonArrays are zero-indexed)
print (myJsonObject:existsByPath("ports/2/type") )
-- false (LuaJsonArrays are zero-indexed, and there is no third value)
print (myJsonObject:existsByPath("version/major"))
-- true
