Remove extra parameters from framed JSON-LD - json

Question

So, lets consider the following data fetched from db:
[
{
"#id": "http://example.com/1",
"http://example.com/label": "Parent",
"http://example.com/status": "Active",
"http://example.com/children": [
{
"#id": "http://example.com/2"
}
]
},
{
"#id": "http://example.com/2",
"http://example.com/label": "Child",
"http://example.com/status": "Active"
}
]
And the frame:
{
"#context": {
"#base": "http://example.com/",
"#vocab": "http://example.com/"
},
"#graph": {
"status":{}
}
}
The result will look like:
{
"#context": {
"#base": "http://example.com/",
"#vocab": "http://example.com/"
},
"#graph": [
{
"#id": "1",
"children": {
"#id": "2",
"label": "Child",
"status": "Active"
},
"label": "Parent",
"status": "Active"
},
{
"#id": "2",
"label": "Child",
"status": "Active"
}
]
}
As you can see in the first object, in the children section I get some extra parameters in addition to id.
Is there a way I could simplify the children list to just contain ids:
"children": [
"2"
]
I tried adding this to my frame:
"children": {
"#id": "http://example.com/children",
"#type": "#id"
}
But it doesn't work as I expect.

Use framing flags: "#embed": "#never" or "#explicit": true.
{
"#context": {
"#base": "http://example.com/",
"#vocab": "http://example.com/"
},
"#graph": {
"status": {},
"#embed": "#never"
}
}
or
{
"#context": {
"#base": "http://example.com/",
"#vocab": "http://example.com/"
},
"#graph": {
"status": {},
"children": {"#explicit": true, "#omitDefault": true}
}
}
But perhaps all you need is compaction.
If you don't want to compact arrays, toggle the respective option. In JSONLD-Java:
final JsonLdOptions options = new JsonLdOptions();
options.setCompactArrays(false);
