Testing a rest request in json

I am testing a rest api. And the request and response are written in json. So i need to select the item from the response.
for example

{"example":
{"test":"it is a test",
  "test2":"testing"
}
}

My question is, how can i get the information like  "test", because xpath or xquery could not be used for json.
Btw, i am using soapui 2.5.1

Thanks in advance!!

    Hello,

    soapUI converts JSON (among other formats) into XML, allowing you to use the standard XML tools available, such as XPath or XQuery. When viewing the response, take a look at the XML view. The structure will be a little bit different from the raw JSON response, but all the data will be there.
