+## Using `for_each_at_path_with_wildcard` for JSONPath Queries (On-Demand)
 
-The `at_path_with_wildcard` function in simdjson extends the JSONPath querying capabilities by supporting wildcard expressions (`*`) in JSON paths. This allows users to retrieve multiple elements from a JSON document in a single query. For example, you can use `$.address.*` to fetch all fields within the `address` object or `$.phoneNumbers[*].numbers[*]` to retrieve all phone numbers across multiple objects in an array.
+The `for_each_at_path_with_wildcard` function in simdjson extends the JSONPath querying capabilities by supporting wildcard expressions (`*`) in JSON paths. It calls a user-provided callback for each matching element, avoiding the need to materialize all results into a vector. For example, you can use `$.address.*` to fetch all fields within the `address` object or `$.phoneNumbers[*].numbers[*]` to retrieve all phone numbers across multiple objects in an array.
 
-The `*` wildcard matches all elements at a specific level. For instance, `$.address.*` retrieves all key-value pairs in the `address` object, while `$.*.streetAddress` fetches all `streetAddress` fields across objects at the root level. You can combine wildcards with array indexing. For example, `$.phoneNumbers[*].numbers[1]` retrieves the second number from each `numbers` array in the `phoneNumbers` array. If no elements match the wildcard query, the function returns an empty result. For instance, querying `$.empty_object.*` or `$.empty_array.*` will yield an empty set.
+The `*` wildcard matches all elements at a specific level.

You can combine wildcards with array indexing. For example, `$.phoneNumbers[*].numbers[1]` retrieves the second number from each `numbers` array in the `phoneNumbers` array. If no elements match the wildcard query, the callback is simply never called. For instance, querying `$.empty_object.*` or `$.empty_array.*` will yield no callbacks.
