=========

Get data from a JSON object by path.

## Install

npm install getbypath

## Usage

var getByPath = require('getbypath');
var obj = { foo: { bar: { baz: 'thedata', biz: ['one', 'two'] }}};
var bar = getByPath(obj, 'foo.bar.baz');

console.log(bar);
console.log(getByPath(obj, 'foo.bar'));
console.log(getByPath(obj, 'foo.bar.biz'));

//produces the following output
thedata
{ baz: 'thedata', biz: [ 'one', 'two' ] }
[ 'one', 'two' ]

// use getByPath with a third argument true to create path
var newPath = getByPath(obj, 'my.newPath', true);

console.log(newPath); // {}
console.log(obj);

/*
{
foo: {
bar: {
baz: 'thedata',
