create hiearchy JSON output using HR data source

I have the following sample file (fake #s) that shows a subset of the organization and the hierarchy levels. I am trying determine a way to get a nested JSON output that looks something like the code below where is references each employee # and who rolls up under who in the "children" section of the JSON data using the grid view. 

 

There could be as many as 7-8 nested layers so having trouble figuring out how to iterate this to create the final JSON output. 

 

 

[
 {
  "Id": "2",
  "Name": "abc",
  "Parent": "",
  "children": [
   {
    "Id": "1",
    "Name": "abc",
    "Parent": "2",
    "children": []
   },
   {
    "Id": "4",
    "Name": "abc",
    "Parent": "2",
    "children": []
   },
   {
    "Id": "6",
    "Name": "abc",
    "Parent": "2",
    "children": [
     {
      "Id": "7",
      "Name": "abc",
      "Parent": "6",
      "children": []
     },
     {
      "Id": "8",
      "Name": "abc",
      "Parent": "6",
      "children": []
     }
    ]
   }
  ]
 },
 {
  "Id": "5",
  "Name": "abc",
  "Parent": "",
  "children": [
   {
    "Id": "3",
    "Name": "abc",
    "Parent": "5",
    "children": []
   }
  ]
 }
]
