I have a JSON representing menu items.
A menu item can have a sub menu item, which in turn can have another sub menu item and so son.
The input JSON relates the menu items through a parent id. I'm trying to convert this to a model where each menu item has a slice of its sub menu items.
The sub menus go three levels deep. I've managed to parse upto two levels but I have no idea why the third level isn't being parsed. I've been debugging this problem for hours. I would appreciate some help.
