jq: output array of json objects [duplicate]
Use slurp mode:
o --slurp/-s: Instead of running the filter for each JSON object in the input, read the entire input stream into a large array and run the filter just once.$ jq -s '.' < tmp.json[ { "name": "John", "email": "john@company.com" }, { "name": "Brad", "email": "brad@company.com" }]
