## Get nested array values
Suppose you want all the last names from the following json:
```json
{
"programmers": [
{
"firstName": "Janet",
"lastName": "McLaughlin",
}, {
"firstName": "Elliotte",
"lastName": "Hunter",
}, {
"firstName": "Jason",
"lastName": "Harold",
}
]
}`
```
You would use the path "programmers.#.lastName" like such:
```go
result := gjson.Get(json, "programmers.#.lastName")
for _,name := range result.Multi {
println(name.String())
}
``` ```
## Check for the existence of a value ## Check for the existence of a value

if !value.Exists() { if !value.Exists() {
println("no last name") println("no last name")
