JSON path expression is not filtering result

Current behavior

I was not able to filter data:

[
  {
    "name": "Adeel Solangi",
    "language": "Sindhi",
    "id": "V59OF92YF627HFY0",
    "bio": "Donec lobortis eleifend condimentum. Cras dictum dolor lacinia lectus vehicula rutrum. Maecenas quis nisi nunc. Nam tristique feugiat est vitae mollis. Maecenas quis nisi nunc.",
    "version": 6.1
  },
  {
    "name": "Afzal Ghaffar",
    "language": "Sindhi",
    "id": "ENTOCR13RSCLZ6KU",
    "bio": "Aliquam sollicitudin ante ligula, eget malesuada nibh efficitur et. Pellentesque massa sem, scelerisque sit amet odio id, cursus tempor urna. Etiam congue dignissim volutpat. Vestibulum pharetra libero et velit gravida euismod.",
    "version": 1.88
  },
  {
    "name": "Aamir Solangi",
    "language": "Sindhi",
    "id": "IAKPO3R4761JDRVG",
    "bio": "Vestibulum pharetra libero et velit gravida euismod. Quisque mauris ligula, efficitur porttitor sodales ac, lacinia non ex. Fusce eu ultrices elit, vel posuere neque.",
    "version": 7.27
  }
]

expressions I tried:

1. $..name
2. $[1:3].name
3. $[].name
4. $[3].name

It's not showing any results in the Test result window:

It appears that the tester can't handle top level arrays. Properties with arrays are fine; it's just when you have the JSON that is an array of properties, which is valid JSON.

Update: Looking through the DevToys.Tools code, it appears that NewtonSoft.Json is used. It could be beneficial to move to System.Text.Json and maybe a 3rd party project like json-everything. There is a very well-done JSON path tester in that project that could be used instead.

Update to the update: Apparently, I can't let this go :D...
I see in the crowdin_main branch that this has been fixed and hopefully that means it is on the horizon for a release. Thanks for your reading my ramblings...
