I want to add a parent to each of the json objects within a file. My starting point is the following json file containing two json items:
{
"id": {
"S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63"
},
"test": {
"N": "5"
},
"added": {
"S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00"
},
"foo": {
"N": "88"
},
"web": {
"N": "103"
}
}
{
"id": {
"S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63"
},
"image_server_id": {
"N": "5"
},
"added": {
"S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00"
},
"result": {
"N": "88"
},
"data": {
"foo": {
"N": "103",
"S": "test"
}
}
}
Using jq and/or bash I want to generate the following json file:
{
"*StaticString*": [
{
"PutRequest": {
"Item": {
"id": {
"S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63"
},
"test": {
"N": "5"
},
"added": {
"S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00"
},
"foo": {
"N": "88"
},
"web": {
"N": "103"
}
**}
}
},
{
"PutRequest": {
"Item": {
"id": {
"S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63"
},
"image_server_id": {
"N": "5"
},
"added": {
"S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00"
},
"result": {
"N": "88"
},
"data": {
"foo": {
"N": "103",
"S": "test"
}
}
**}
}
}
]
}
To sum up I want to add
{
"StaticString": [
{
at the beginning of the file. Then I need to put each json item into a parent
"PutRequest": {
"Item": {
...
}
}
and generate an array out of the json items.
I'm already knowing how to generate an array of the json items using
jq -s . testfile.json
But I don't know how to add a parent to each json item.
I hope it's clear what I want to achieve.
Thank's for your help, Chris
