I think this is about the same issue you replied to some years ago, Robert: wanting to get certain values from returned JSON data from weerlive.nl

Your post below in English:

- `$` represents the (JSON) object returned by the server
- `liveweer` is the name of a “key” in that object; the value associated with the key is an array of values (each value is another object, so `$.liveweer` is an array-of-objects)
- `[0]` is the first element of that array; if you want the second element, you have to use `[1]` (etc);
- `d0tmax` is the name of a key in the (in this case) first element of the `liveweer` array

The expression is a JSONPath expression. You can [here](https://jsonpath.com/) try such expressions in real time: paste the JSON result from the weerlive server into the “JSON” field, enter the JSONPath expression at the top, and on the right you can see the result.

> De expressie is een JSONPath expressie. Je kunt [hier](https://jsonpath.com/) in realtime zulke expressies uitproberen: plak het JSON resultaat van de weerlive server in het “JSON” veld, vul bovenin de JSONPath expressie in, en rechts zie je het resultaat.
