JSON file - how to delete entire node that contains a string - json

Question

I have a JSON file:
{
"JSONS" : [
{
"id" : "ToRemove",
"First" : [
{
"id" : "geo",
"Name" : "Person1",
"model" : [
],
"adjustments" : [
{
"uid" : "3",
"name" : "4s",
"value" : "1"
},
{
"uid" : "5",
"name" : "3s",
"value" : "6"
}
]
},
{
"id" : "Meters",
"Dictionary" : "4.2"
},
{
"id" : "Moon",
"Filter" : "0.5",
"Saturn" : {
"s" : "0",
"v" : "1"
}
}
]
}
]
}
I would like to delete entire node, if the "id", in this example, contains "ToRemove" string. Everyting between { and }, including those lines also, to make the final JSON consistent.
This is a screenshot what I want to get rid of.
I only found how to delete properties, but not entire nodes. I've tried to appli something like this:
$ToRemove = Get-Content $SourceFile | ConvertFrom-Json
$ToRemove.PSObject.Object.Remove('id:','ToRemove')
$ToRemove | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100 | Out-File $DestFile
but of course it didn't work.
How to delete the entire node? I would love to use an array to put all strings I would like to delete.

Answer 1

Based on your comment, you can remove that object having the property id = ToRemove by filtering where id is not equal to ToRemove and assigning that result to the .JSONS property:
$json = Get-Content path\to\json.json -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json
$json.JSONS = #($json.JSONS.Where{ $_.id -ne 'ToRemove' })
$json | ConvertTo-Json
The end result in this case would be an empty array for the .JSONS property:
{
"JSONS": []
}
.PSObject.Properties.Remove(...) wouldn't be useful in this case because what it does is remove properties from one object but what you want to do is filter out an entire object based on a condition.

You should be able to use just plain PowerShell, like this:
{
"JSONS" : [
{
"id" : "ToRemove",
"First" : [
{
"id" : "geo",
"Name" : "Person1",
"model" : [
]
},
{
"id" : "Meters",
"Dictionary" : "4.2"
}
]
},
{
"id" : "DontRemove",
"First" : []
}
]
}
$json = Get-Content -Path $SourceFile | ConvertFrom-Json
$json.JSONS = $json.JSONS | Where-Object { $_.Id -ne "ToRemove" }
$json | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100 | Out-File -Path $DestFile
