Why are all ids being returned instead of the one matching search criteria

Question

I'm trying to learn JSON path and I'm using the sample at https://codebeautify.org/jsonpath-tester# to practice.

I'm trying to extract the id based on the employee's first name as below:

$.employees.employee[?(@firstName='Tom')].id

However it returns all the ids. How do I pick the id based on firstName?

`$.employees.employee[?(@firstName=='Tom')].id` note the `==` — Eldar, Aug 11 '20 at 09:28

try: $.employees.employee[?(@.firstName == 'Tom')].id

You are missing @.firstName and ==
