Conditional removal of array entries

[suyashrails]

I have a json like this

{
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "users": [{
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Aaron",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 11,
            "value": "account_11"
        }, {
            "id": "12",
            "value": "account_12"
        }]
    }, {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Rodney",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 22,
            "value": "account_22"
        }]
    }, {
        "id": "3",
        "name": "Clayton",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 33,
            "value": "account_33"
        }]
    }]
}

I want to keep the users array empty when status is "PENDING", "INACTIVE" or "BLOCKED" but not of any other value of status.

e.g.

1. for above json no change
2. for following json

{
    "status": "BLOCKED",
    "users": [{
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Aaron",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 11,
            "value": "account_11"
        }, {
            "id": "12",
            "value": "account_12"
        }]
    }, {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Rodney",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 22,
            "value": "account_22"
        }]
    }, {
        "id": "3",
        "name": "Clayton",
        "accounts": [{
            "id": 33,
            "value": "account_33"
        }]
    }]
}

it should result in

{
    "status": "BLOCKED",
    "users": []
}

How can this be done with Jolt specs?

I am going with the assumption that the input json is always an array with just 1 element and the output is expected to be an object with that first element.

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "0": {
        "status": {
          "PENDING|INACTIVE|BLOCKED": {
            "$": "status"
          },
          "*": {
            "$": "status",
            "@(2,users)": "users"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "default",
    "spec": {
      "users": []
    }
  }
]

If your array can contain more than one object and you want to map each then use this:

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "status": {
          "PENDING|INACTIVE|BLOCKED": {
            "$": "[&3].status"
          },
          "*": {
            "$": "[&3].status",
            "@(2,users)": "[&3].users"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "default",
    "spec": {
      "*": {
        "users": []
      }
    }
  }
]

Thanks for the response. I realized that my input json need not be enclosed in an array. Sorry about the confusion. I suppose the transformation wont change significantly due to this.
