I have the following JSON structure:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28474984-1">{ &quot;identification&quot; : &quot;AlphaBeta&quot; }</code></pre>
<br />
What I want to do is write a conditional that states something like (In Pseudo code)<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28474984-2">  IF identification = 'Alpha*'
     TRUE
  ELSE 
     FALSE</code></pre>
<br />
Therefore the function above would return true if <br />
'identification' was equal to any of the three values below<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28474984-3">AlphaGraphics
AlphaCentauri
AlphaBeta</code></pre>
<br />
But would return false if 'identification' is equal to the following value:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28474984-4">AlaskaBeta</code></pre>
<br />
How do I convert the pseudo code above to JSONPATH ?<br />
<br />
What would that look like in JSONPATH ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.
