Deleting fields that contain full stops cannot be deleted

[David Bond]

Hello, I'm using sjson to modify the JSON representation of kubernetes objects. Many of them contain this field:

{
  "apiVersion": "apps/v1",
  "kind": "Deployment",
  "metadata": {
    "annotations": {
      "kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration": ""
    }
}

I want to target the kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration to be deleted by sjson. But it seems like due to the . characters in the key, I'm unable to do this with a normal call to sjson.Delete

I've tried both of these:

value, err := sjson.Delete(content, "metadata.annotations.kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration")

value, err := sjson.Delete(content, `metadata.annotations."kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration"`)

But neither result in the field being deleted. Is there a way to perform a deletion on a key that has a full stop in it?

Thanks, great package by the way!

Ah, I should've read the documentation!

I escaped the full stops using a \ character and it works fine!
