Secure by default #182

Description

@rluvaton

Currently the JavaScript evaluation is enabled by default which is a bad practice, I know this project is not maintained anymore but given the case I would like to know if you would merge a PR that disable the evaluation by default

JavaScript evaluation is very dangerous if coming from user input (even if it's running in a sandbox) for example, the following path will cause Heap out of Memory error:

const { JSONPath } = require('jsonpath-plus');

JSONPath({
  json: { nonEmpty: 'object' },
  path: '$..[?(' +
'(function a(arr){' +
'a([...arr, ...arr])' +
'})([1]);)]'
});
