    name: 'Test1',
    prop1: 'I should not be redacted either',
    child: {
      name: 'Test2',

{
  "name": "*****",
  "prop0": "I should not be redacted",
  "child": {
    "name": "*****",
    "prop1": "I should not be redacted either",
    "child": {

      }
    }

Note: You get 1 * per character redacted :)
