title: Is there a way to remove a layer from a JSON object?
body: <p>Is there a way to remove a parent layer from a JSON object?  For example, let's say I have the following JSON object:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "Hello": "World",
      "Parent": {
          "key1": "val1",
          "key2": "val2",
          "key3": {
              "key3a": "val3a",
              "key3b": "val3b"
          },
          "key4": "val4"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want to remove the <code>Parent</code> layer and have the JSON object read like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "Hello": "World",
      "key1": "val1",
      "key2": "val2",
      "key3": {
          "key3a": "val3a",
          "key3b": "val3b"
      },
      "key4": "val4"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>I would preferably like to accomplish this using Python, but if anyone knows of a way I am open to using other methods to get this done.</p>
