Describe the bug
Given a JSON logline {"foo":["bar"]} and trying to access the bar string from it leads to a Unknown value type error.

You can see it here: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/logql/analyzer/?query=%7C+json+baz%3D%22foo%5B0%5D%22&line%5B%5D=%7B%22foo%22%3A%5B%22bar%22%5D%7D

Using number arrays works as expected: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/logql/analyzer/?query=%7C+json+baz%3D%22foo%5B0%5D%22&line%5B%5D=%7B%22foo%22%3A%5B1%5D%7D

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/logql/analyzer/?query=%7C+json+baz%3D%22foo%5B0%5D%22&line%5B%5D=%7B%22foo%22%3A%5B%22bar%22%5D%7D

Expected behavior

String slices should be parsed as number slices.

Environment:

  • Loki: latest

This appears to be an oddity in the underlying JSON parser. When the string is either wrapped in a JSON object or in a 2-dimensional array, it suddenly does manage to parse.

Any news on this one? Looks very odd indeed.

It works if the string can be parsed to a 'known' type, i.e. "21:12:12", "500"
See here, items 0 and 1 can be extracted but not "abc": https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/query/analyzer/?query=%7C+json+baz%3D%22foo%5B0%5D%22%2C+bazz%3D%22foo%5B1%5D%22%2C+bazzz%3D%22foo%5B2%5D%22&line%5B%5D=%7B%22foo%22%3A%5B%2221%3A12%3A00%22%2C+%22500%22%2C+%22abc%22%5D%7D

After more sleuthing, it seems to have been introduced by #8734 and would be related to buger/jsonparser#232

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR imports the newly forked grafana/jsonparser over the
buger/jsonparser module. The latter has seemingly been abandoned. PR
10690 introduces a fix to the jsonparser module, which has been
incorporated into the grafana fork of the module.

The PR is designed to fix accessing string array elements from within a
JSON structure. For example, with the following JSON:
`{"log":{"message":{"content":{"misses":["a","b","c","d"]}}}}`

The Loki code, before this PR, when searching for `json misses =
"log.message.content.misses[0]" ` will result in an "Unknown value type
error". After this PR is merged, the result will assign `a` to the
`misses` variable.

**Which issue(s) this PR fixes**:
Fixes #[9179](#9179)
#10690
