+# JSON Pointer for nodejs
+
+This is an implementation of [JSON Pointer](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pbryan-zyp-json-pointer-00).
+
+## Usage
+
+    var jsonpointer = require("jsonpointer");
+    var obj = { foo: 1, bar: { baz: 2}, qux: [3, 4, 5]};
+    var one = jsonpointer.get(obj, "/foo");
+    var two = jsonpointer.get(obj, "/bar/baz");
+    var three = jsonpointer.get(obj, "/qux/0");
+    var four = jsonpointer.get(obj, "/qux/1");
+    var five = jsonpointer.get(obj, "/qux/2");
+
+    jsonpointer.set(obj, "/foo", 6); // obj.foo = 6;
+
+## Testing
+
+    $ node test.js
+    All tests pass.
