Select object based on value of variable in json array using jq

Question

I have the following json file:

 {
     "HostedZones": [
         {
             "Id": "Z3JX6LQV6IJO3E",
             "Name": "sandbox.mydomain.com."
         },
         {
             "Id": "Z13M9NFG2E4J5N",
             "Name": "internal.mydomain.com."
         }
     ]
 }

I am using jq and want to get the "Id" value of the object where 'Name' is 'internal.mydomain.com.'.

Use select() filter on the name and get the id value with the following filter

jq '.HostedZones[] | select (.Name=="internal.mydomain.com.").Id'
