    example: [
        {value: 4},
        {value: 7},
        {value: 13}
    ]
};

(async () => {
    const expression = jsonata('$sum(example.value)');
    const result = await expression.evaluate(data);  // returns 24
})()

    <script>
      async function greeting() {
        var json = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('json').value);
        var result = await jsonata('"Hello, " & name').evaluate(json);
        document.getElementById('greeting').innerHTML = result;
      }
    </script>
  </head>
