### cleanObj
Removes any properties except the ones specified from a JSON object.
Use `Object.keys()` method to loop over given JSON object and deleting keys that are not `include`d in given array.
Also if you give it a special key (`childIndicator`) it will search deeply inside it to apply function to inner objects too.
```js
const cleanObj = (obj, keysToKeep = [], childIndicator) => {
Object.keys(obj).forEach(key => {
if (key === childIndicator) {
cleanObj(obj[key], keysToKeep, childIndicator);
} else if (!keysToKeep.includes(key)) {
delete obj[key];
}
});
return obj;
};
```
```js
const testObj = { a: 1, b: 2, children: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
cleanObj(testObj, ['a'], 'children'); // { a: 1, children : { a: 1}}
```
