The information you need from a JSON document is rarely the whole document. You want the customer's email, the status of every order, the regions covered by a report — values scattered across dozens of nested objects and array elements. Opening the file and copying them out one by one is slow, error-prone, and loses the connection between each value and where it lived.
Extract JSON Values harvests them all at once. Give it a field name and it walks the entire tree, returning the value of every matching key at any depth — or give it a precise dot path to target one location. No target at all collects every primitive value, giving an instant inventory of the payload. Unique mode collapses repeats for clean answers to questions like which statuses or regions exist; source paths show exactly where each value came from. Output lands as a list, JSON array or CSV, ready for scripts, spreadsheets and documentation.
