Class PathRemover

java.lang.Object
net.minidev.json.actions.PathRemover
public class PathRemover extends Object
Removes branches of nodes from a JSONObject matching the list of user-specified paths.

A path to remove must be specified in the n-gram format - a list of keys from the root down separated by dots: K0[[[[.K1].K2].K3]...]
A key to the right of a dot is a direct child of a key to the left of a dot. Keys with a dot in their name are not supported.

Usage Example:

To remove the field k1.k2 from the JSONObject {k1:{k2:v2}, k3:{k4:v4}} use the remover like so: 

 PathRemover pr = new PathRemover("k1.k2");
 JSONObject cleanObject = pr.remove(new JSONObject(...));
The resulting object 'cleanObject' would be {k1:{k3:{k4:v4}}}
