      { "name" : "John", "age" : 10 },
      { "name" : "Paul", "age" : 16 },
      { "name" : "George", "age" : 17 },
      { "name" : "Ringo", "age" : 18 }
    ]
}

Simple schema

You can iterate "students" node by the following condifuration:

root: $.students
schema:
  - {name: name, type: string}
  - {name: age, type: long}

Handle more complicated json

If you want to handle more complicated json like as follows:

{
    "result" : "success",
    "students" : [
      { "names" : ["John", "Lennon"], "age" : 10 },
      { "names" : ["Paul", "Maccartney"], "age" : 10 }
    ]
}

you can specify jsonpath to also path in schema section:

root: $.students
schema:
  - {name: firstName, type: string, path: "names[0]"}
  - {name: lastName, type: string, path: "names[1]"}

In this case, names[0] will be firstName of schema and names[1] will be lastName.
