This section includes examples of commonly used JSONPath-based anonymization rules.

Example 1: Rule with nested JSON elements

Rule definition example:

 {
    "name": "NESTED_JSONPATH_RULE_1",
    "rule_id": "JSONPATH",
    "paths": ["$.configs.properties.passwd"],
    "include_files": ["*config.json"],
    "shared": true
  }

Input data:

{
    "configs": {
        "properties":
            {
                "user": "abc",
                "passwd": "12!@"
            }
    }
}

Output data (after anonymizarion):

{
  "configs": {
    "properties": {
      "user": "abc",
      "passwd": "¶91!@¶"
    }
  }
}

Example 2: Rule with indexed JSON array objects

Rule definition example:

  {
    "name": "ARRAY_JSONPATH_RULE",
    "rule_id": "JSONPATH",
    "paths": ["$.configs.properties[1].passwd"],
    "include_files": ["config.json"],
    "shared": true
  }

Input data:

{
    "configs": {
        "properties": [
            {
                "database": "mysql",
                "url": "user@host:port"
            },
            {
                "user": "abc",
                "passwd": "12!@"
            }
	]
    }
}

Output data (after anonymization):

{
  "configs": {
    "properties": [
      {
        "database": "mysql",
        "url": "user@host:port"
      },
      {
        "user": "abc",
        "passwd": "¶91!@¶"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Example 3: Rule with JSON map

Rule definition example:

    {
      "name": "MAP_JSONPATH_RULE",
      "rule_id": "JSONPATH",
      "paths": ["$.properties.passwd"],
      "include_files": ["*config.json"],
      "shared": true
    }

Input data:

 {
   "db":"mysql",
   "properties":
   {
     "user_name":"sa",
     "passwd":"sa_pass"
   },
   "pooli_size":32,
   "timeout":10
 }

Output data (after anonymization):

{
  "db": "mysql",
  "properties": {
    "user_name": "sa",
    "passwd": "¶vm_wtto¶"
  },
  "pooli_size": 32,
  "timeout": 10
}

Example 4: Rule to mask all JSON objects from list

Rule definition example:

 {
   "name": "ALL_FROM_ARRAY_JSONPATH_RULE",
   "rule_id": "JSONPATH",
   "paths": ["$.configs.properties[*].passwd"],
   "include_files": ["*config.json"],
   "shared": true
 }

Input data:

{
   "configs": {
       "properties": [
           {
               "user": "abc1",
               "passwd": "pass1"
           },
           {
               "user": "abc2",
               "passwd": "pass2"
           }
   ]
   }
}

Output data (after anonymization):

{
 "configs": {
   "properties": [
     {
       "user": "abc1",
       "passwd": "¶smfz7¶"
     },
     {
       "user": "abc2",
       "passwd": "¶smfz8¶"
     }
   ]
 }
}
