Is there a way to retrieve a JSON path based on location in input text

In a case where I have a JSON input text editor and JSON Parser (eg: Jackson), how do I link between the location of where my cursor is to what path in the JSON I'm currently looking for? Something similar to how when editing a JSON file in VSCode, it is able to detect what your cursor is at in the outline. For example, with JSON:

{  
    "employee": {  
        "name":       "sonoo",   
        "salary":      56000,   
        "married":    true  
    }  
}

How do I retrieve what Line 3: Character 10 (the n in name) is pointing to in the JSON Object? Looking for libraries or implementations that may help.
