           Summary: Ability to parse/filter JSON data and extract fields
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Description:
REST is far more popular than SOAP nowadays, and it's time to have a FILTERJSON
function equivalent to FILTERXML.

Steps to Reproduce:
The vast majority of REST APIs return JSON data.

Actual Results:  
FILTERJSON (or "PARSEJSON") could use dotted notation to extract object fields.

Expected Results:
A1:
=WEBSERVICE("https://api.github.com/repos/DmytroBazunov/LibreOfficeGetRestPlugin/issues/6")
B1: = PARSEJSON(A1, "user.login")  // "dandv"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
There's a poorly maintained plugin that attempts to do this,
