JSON.OBJLEN - Upstash Documentation

Use JSON.OBJLEN to get the number of fields in the objects a path selects.

Without a path the root value is used. The reply holds one count per match, with null for matches that are not objects. It counts only the object's own fields, not the fields of nested objects.

Syntax#

JSON.OBJLEN <key> [path]

Arguments#

Argument	Required	Repeatable	Description
`key`	Yes	No	JSON document key.
`path`	No	No	Path selecting objects; defaults to the root.

Important points#

Raw TCP examples pass JSON values as valid JSON text. Typed Upstash SDK helpers serialize native objects and values for you.
Paths beginning with $ use JSONPath and can match multiple values, so many JSON commands return an array of per-match results.

Response#

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.

Protocol	Reply
RESP2	Integer, array of integer lengths or null values, or Null bulk string or null array
RESP3	Integer, array of integer lengths or null values, or Null

Note

Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples#

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
