The
find(Cursor)
andmatches(Cursor)
methods were intended to be used to check if a given leaf node matches the JSON Path expression against a corresponding parent as starting point for the JSON path. As a result the expression had to be evaluated over and over again for each call to these methods, even though the evaluation results returns all matches each time.This PR updates the implementation so that the match results are stored as a cursor message for the root node against which the expression was matched. Then the matching often only needs to be done once and subsequent
find()
, andmatches()
calls will use that cached result.
