Function jsonpath_lib::replace_with

pub fn replace_with<F>(
    value: Value, 
    path: &str, 
    fun: &mut F
) -> Result<Value, JsonPathError> where
    F: FnMut(Value) -> Option<Value>, 

Select JSON properties using a jsonpath and transform the result and then replace it. via closure that implements FnMut you can transform the selected results.
