Using NER models to detect sensitive data in JSON

tl;dr NER models work best when they process data similar in structure to their training data. This notebook shows a few examples of how one can use an NER model not trained on JSON to actually identify and redact both structured and unstructured values with in a JSON blog. The NER model used is free available but closed source, but one can expect similar results with open source NER models such as spacy.
