Delete Methods

Processor provides methods to delete values at a path, returning the modified JSON string.

Delete

Signature: func (p *Processor) Delete(jsonStr, path string, cfg ...Config) (string, error)

Deletes the value at the specified path and returns the modified JSON string.

result, err := p.Delete(data, "user.temporary")

DeleteClean

Signature: func (p *Processor) DeleteClean(jsonStr, path string, cfg ...Config) (string, error)

Deletes the specified path and automatically cleans up null values and empty arrays.

result, err := p.DeleteClean(data, "user.temporary")
// After deletion, null values and empty arrays are cleaned up

Difference between Delete and DeleteClean:

// Original data: {"user": {"temp": "value", "name": "test"}}

// After Delete: {"user": {"name": "test"}}
result, _ := p.Delete(data, "user.temp")

// DeleteClean also removes user.temp; here user still contains name and does not become empty
// Result: {"user": {"name": "test"}}
result, _ = p.DeleteClean(data, "user.temp")
