        `addAsNewFirstChild` - Whether to add the new JSON payload as the first child of this message context *after* removing the existing first child element.
        Setting this argument to `true` will have no effect if the value of the argument `removeChildren` is already `false`.

    - #### removeJsonPayload

          public static boolean removeJsonPayload(org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext messageContext)

      Removes the existing JSON payload of a message context if any.
      This method can only remove a JSON payload that has been set with `getNewJsonPayload(org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext, java.io.InputStream, boolean, boolean)` and its variants.
      Parameters:
        `messageContext` - Axis2 Message context from which the JSON stream must be removed.
      Returns:
        `true` if the operation is successful.
