Why does filtering JSON for 12 not match the string "12"?
KitForma editorial guide. Number 12 and string "12" are different JSON values.
Step-by-step guidance
Number 12 and string "12" are different JSON values. In https://kitforma.com/en/json-array-filter/, enter the match value with the intended type, including quotes for a string. The input must be an array of objects, and the selected top-level property must exist on a record to match. Check null, missing and empty-string cases separately. Do not convert every identifier to a number just to make a filter match.
