Get multiple rows using FOR JSON clause

Question

Using PostgreSQL I can have multiple rows of json objects.

select (select ROW_TO_JSON(_) from (select c.name, c.age) as _) as jsonresult from employee as c

This gives me this result:

{"age":65,"name":"NAME"}
{"age":21,"name":"SURNAME"}

But in SqlServer when I use the FOR JSON AUTO clause it gives me an array of json objects instead of multiple rows.

select c.name, c.age from customer c FOR JSON AUTO

[{"age":65,"name":"NAME"},{"age":21,"name":"SURNAME"}]

How to get the same result format in SqlServer ?

Answer 1

no structure better performance

SELECT c.id, jdata.*
FROM customer c
  cross apply 
    (SELECT * FROM customer jc where jc.id = c.id FOR JSON PATH , WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER) jdata (jdata)
