Comparison with Other Libraries

There are other excellent .NET JsonPath libraries, some with excellent communities. Hyperbee is focused on conformance with the RFC, performance, and on supporting both JsonElement and JsonNode. We are very interested in growing our community, and invite participation if you have an idea to share, or an improvement to make.
