I there any option to parse **JSON** with **JsonPath** - similar like **XML filter plugin** with **xpath**?

In **Json filter plugin** I don't see such option but it would be very helpfull i.e parsing all parameters of objects array.

Example - let's say that on one field I have json message:

```
{
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName" : "doe",
  "age" : 26,
  "address" : {
    "streetAddress": "naist street",
    "city" : "Nara",
    "postalCode" : "630-0192"
  },
  "phoneNumbers": [
    {
      "type" : "iPhone",
      "number": "0123-4567-8888"
    },
    {
      "type" : "home",
      "number": "0123-4567-8910"
    }
  ]
}

```

with jsonPath = **$.phoneNumbers[:].type** I would extract new field: **parsed-types =\> "iPhone, home"**
