If you call JSON.stringify() with an array as the replacer, the array elements
will be used to filters to select object properties with keys match one of array elements.
All other object properties will be dropped.
But all array elements and standalone values will be remain in the output.
Here is a JavaScript example that a replacer array to keep only "name" and "group" properties in any objects, and filter out all other properties. But array elements are staying in the output.

return str;
}
document.write("<p>JSON.stringify() Replacer to Transform Values:</p>");
document.write("<pre>");
str = '{"name": "Joe", "age": 25, "group": null}';
document.write("Input = "+str+"\n");
json = stringifier(JSON.parse(str));
document.write("Output = "+json+"\n");
str = '["first", {"name": "Jay", "age": 55, "group": "VIP"}]';
document.write("Input = "+str+"\n");
json = stringifier(JSON.parse(str));
document.write("Output = "+json+"\n");
str = '["name", "Kim", "age", 30, "group", "Host"]';
document.write("Input = "+str+"\n");
json = stringifier(JSON.parse(str));
document.write("Output = "+json+"\n");

Output = {"name":"Joe","group":null}
Input = ["first", {"name": "Jay", "age": 55, "group": "VIP"}]
Output = ["first",{"name":"Jay","group":"VIP"}]
Input = ["name", "Kim", "age", 30, "group", "Host"]
