-d does not remove nodes deeper than root level

[paul-hammant]

{
"bar": "hello",
"baz": 2,
"blort":
{
"aaa": "hello",
"bbb": 2
}
}

jshon -d aaa
(does not remove aaa)

Sure it can. Jshon can not read your mind, you have to drill down if
you want to modify deeper levels.

jshon -e blort -d aaa -p

Do you have any suggestions for better expressing this in the docs?

Patches for mind-reading will of course be accepted :-)

Damn, I keep hitting that close button, when I mean comment.

I'm thinking that there's some XPath way of referring to nodes to delete. Two alternates exist already – JAQL or JsonPath
(http://code.google.com/p/jaql and http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/)

These would be ideal :

jshon -d //blort/aaa
jshon -d /blort/aaa

Sadly my C skill as remedial :(
