oSplits a given JSON List into two based on splice index and splice rows. If the list has 5 rows and the ***splice\_index*** is 0 and ***splice\_rows*** is 3, then the output will have two lists. First one will have the first 3 items and the second one will hold the remaining seven.

The function can be used to extract a range from anywhere in the list by configuring the splice\_index and splice rows accordingly.

Note: The splice\_index function is a zero based index. Which means that 0 refers to the first item in the list.
