Motivation
Many APIs, public or not, return JSON data that has deeply nested objects. Using data in this kind of structure is often very difficult for JavaScript applications, especially those using Flux or Redux.
Solution
Normalizr is a small, but powerful utility for taking JSON with a schema definition and returning nested entities with their IDs, gathered in dictionaries.
Another way is to normalize the array into an object and directly deleting the desired object. Check out "normalizr" library when you have free time.
