I have a json input which contains a key-value where the value is an array,  
I want to keep the array value but directly without the key :

the input:

> ```
> {
> "records": [
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 1
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 2
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 3
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 4
> }
> ]
> }
> 
> ```

would become just an array:

> ```
> [
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 1
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 2
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 3
> },
> {
> "geometry": {
> "coordinates": [
> 2.27534258685,
> 48.8296843301
> ],
> "type": "Point"
> },
> "recordid": 4
> }
> ]
> 
> ```
