For fields that are arrays, requesting a non\-numeric field will return
80

82 
.
83 
.IP "" 4
84 
.
85

You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select
94 
an item in an array field\.  To just get the email address of the first
95 
contributor in the list, you can do this:
96 
.
97 
.IP "" 4
98 
.

108

109 
can do this:
110 
.
111 
.IP "" 4

"Person" fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an
122 
object\.  So, for example, this will show the list of npm contributors in
123 
the shortened string format\.  (See \fBnpm help json\fR for more on this\.)
124

If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every
136 
matching version of the package\.  This will show which version of jsdom
137

.SH "OUTPUT"
149 
If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it
150 
will not be colorized or quoted, so as to enable piping the output to
151 
another command\. If the field is an object, it will be output as a JavaScript object literal\.
152 
.
153 
.P
154 
If the \-\-json flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON\.
155 
.
156 
.P
157 
If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value
158 
will be prefixed with the version it applies to\.
159 
.
160

161 
If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with
162
