jsonpointer provides utilities for manipulating JSON documents using JSON Pointers (RFC 6901). It allows easy access, modification, and retrieval of values within deeply nested JSON structures through string-based addressing. The package supports operations like setting, getting, removing, and testing values at specific pointer locations within a JSON document. It is lightweight and commonly used for configuration management or data transformation tasks within node.js applications.
