title: C# remove json child node using newtonsoft
body: <p>I am developing an app using c# wpf in .net 3.5.
  I use newtonsoft library to parse the json string.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know how to remove a child node of json.</p>
  
  <p>For example,
  My json data =</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"employees":[
  {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, 
  {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"}, 
  {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}]}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The function </p>
  
  <pre><code>jobject.Remove("employees");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>removes all the nodes sucessfully</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know how to remove the first employee detail alone.</p>
