# JSON Pointer syntax reference

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer defines a syntax for identifying a specific value within a JSON payload. Using the sample payload and JSON Pointer examples below, identify the attributes that you want to use to populate your attribute contract.

You can find a complete technical description of JSON Pointer syntax in the [IETF RFC 6901 - JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).

You can find more information about the iovation payload structure in [Transaction REST API Response Attributes](https://help.iovation.com/Programming_References/API_Reference_Documentation/Transaction_REST_API_Response_Attributes) in the iovation Help Center (sign-on required).
