Works also for arrays where you pass in index.
This function takes variable number of parameters. Pass as much parameters as needed separated by the semicolon in FileMaker.
Please repeat Names parameter as often as you need.
Examples
Query properties object and inside it the lastname object and there the value property:
MBS("JSON.GetObjectItemTree"; JSON Test::JSON; "properties"; "lastname"; "value")
Look into object tree, pick addresses, first address, than value and there the content of street:
MBS("JSON.GetStringValue"; MBS( "JSON.GetObjectItemTree"; test::JSON ; "addresses"; 0; "value"; "streetAddress" ))
