JSON.DEL

Delete the JSON values at the path in a document key. If the path is the root path, it is equivalent to deleting the key from Valkey.

Examples

Enhanced path syntax:

127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.SET k1 . '{"a":{}, "b":{"a":1}, "c":{"a":1, "b":2}, "d":{"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}, "e": [1,2,3,4,5]}'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.DEL k1 $.d.*
(integer) 3
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.GET k1
"{\"a\":{},\"b\":{\"a\":1},\"c\":{\"a\":1,\"b\":2},\"d\":{},\"e\":[1,2,3,4,5]}"
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.DEL k1 $.e[*]
(integer) 5
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.GET k1
"{\"a\":{},\"b\":{\"a\":1},\"c\":{\"a\":1,\"b\":2},\"d\":{},\"e\":[]}"

Restricted path syntax:

127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.SET k1 . '{"a":{}, "b":{"a":1}, "c":{"a":1, "b":2}, "d":{"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}, "e": [1,2,3,4,5]}'
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.DEL k1 .d.*
(integer) 3
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.GET k1
"{\"a\":{},\"b\":{\"a\":1},\"c\":{\"a\":1,\"b\":2},\"d\":{},\"e\":[1,2,3,4,5]}"
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.DEL k1 .e[*]
(integer) 5
127.0.0.1:6379> JSON.GET k1
"{\"a\":{},\"b\":{\"a\":1},\"c\":{\"a\":1,\"b\":2},\"d\":{},\"e\":[]}"
