Re: [Json] [dispatch] draft-goessner-dispatch-jsonpath-00.txt

And I note the discussion of an HTTP API working group, to which this work would fit in.

I’m currently working on a spec for emergency services that uses jsonpath, and the lack of a referenceable spec was a big concern.

The immediate cause for writing this up now is that some IoT discovery work (some of which happens in W3C) can make good use of JSONPath.  Clearly, we already have JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) for a more limited set of applications; the specification would do good in defining how these two fit together.
