Procedure

In Talend Studio, open the Job used in Extracting JSON data from a file using JSONPath without setting a loop node to display it in the design workspace.
Double-click the tFileInputJSON component to open its Basic settings view.

In this example, enter the JSONPath query expressions "title", "category", "author", and "price" relative to the four child nodes of the book node respectively.

Press F6 to execute the Job.

As shown above, the book information is extracted from the source JSON data and displayed in a flat table on the console.
