Using the Ignition 8 jsonGet function, is it possible to directly specify a json array location in the path parameter?  
Using the VisualStudio 2019 RESTful API example program output as an example:

[{“date”:“2020-01-18T09:34:52.4573681-08:00”,“temperatureC”:20,“temperatureF”:67,“summary”:“Warm”}]

I am not sure how to access the only element (0) of this json array using jsonGet directly.

Try "[0]" as the path.
