            "people": [
                {

                        {"name": "Judy"},
                        {"name": "Michael"}
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "name": "Nathan",
                    "age": 38,
                    "children": [
                        {"name": "Kaden"},
                        {"name": "Brie"}
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }

// Set all matching array nodes to empty arrays
// (Here: clears each /people/*/children array)
message.setAllJSONArrays("/people/children");

//     "people": [
//         { "name": "David",  "age": 41, "children": [] },
