Given a JSON like the following:
{
"data": [{
"id": "1a2b3c",
"info": {
"a": {
"number": 0
},
"b": {
"number": 1
},
"c": {
"number": 2
}
}
}]
}
I want to select on a number that is greater than or equal to 2 and for that selection I want to return the values of id
and number
. I did this like so:
$ jq -r '.data[] | .id as $ID | .info[] | select(.number >= 2) | [$ID, .number]' in.json
[
"1a2b3c",
2
]
Now I would also like to return a higher level key for my selection, in my case I need to return c
. How can I accomplish this?
Assuming you want the string "c"
instead of 2
in the output, this will work:
$ jq '.data[] | .id as $ID | .info | to_entries[] | select(.value.number >= 2) | [$ID, .key]' input.json
[
"1a2b3c",
"c"
]
