switching to PaesslerAG/jsonpath

[sjlee]

We love httpexpect, and are using it in our project. However, currently httpexpect depends on github.com/yalp/jsonpath which does not come with a license. From a legal standpoint, this is a big red flag, and we need a solution for us to be able to use httpexpect.

Someone raised this issue directly on the jsonpath repo (yalp/jsonpath#3), but there has been no movement.

Can httpexpect remove the jsonpath dependency so that we can use this legally? One possibility might be to use another one like https://github.com/PaesslerAG/jsonpath which is licensed under BSD-3. Thoughts?

I added a PR that addresses this. Could you please review, and merge it if it is acceptable? Thanks!

I just added a license to the https://github.com/yalp/jsonpath project. Sorry for the delay...

Thanks @yalp! Greatly appreciated.

@gavv, what are your thoughts on proceeding? It sounds like @yalp is indicating one should use https://github.com/PaesslerAG/jsonpath going forward (https://github.com/yalp/jsonpath/blob/master/README.md).

We could switch but we should solve the compatibility issues first.. See my comment at #49.
