I like it! Would you make one more test case that involves just a single
map?
> JSON Parser should handle arbitrarily deep nesting of maps

> Key: METRON-449
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-449
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.2.1BETA
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
>
> The JSONMapParser's unfolding function only unfolds maps at the root level
> such as "collection" : { "blah" : 7, "blah2" : "foo" }.
> This limits the utility of the parser, since it is likely that someone would
> have to do a good deal of transformation before hand.
> The ability for the parser to handle nested objects ( maps ) to arbitrary
> depth would greatly add to the utility of this parser.
