for example you have this json array :

```auto
{ 
  "accounting" : [   
                     { "firstName" : "John",  
                       "lastName" : "Doe",
                       "age" : 23 },

                     { "firstName" : "Mary",  
                       "lastName" : "Smith",
                        "age" : 32 }
                 ],                            
  "sales" : [ 
                     { "firstName" : "Sally", 
                       "lastName" : "Green",
                        "age" : 27 },

                     { "firstName" : "Jim",   
                       "lastName" : "Galley",
