# 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 [JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901) on ietf.org.
