Using jq to fetch key value from json output

Question

I have a file that looks as below:

{
  \"repositories\": [
   {
    \"id\": \"156c48fc-f208-43e8-a631-4d12deb89fa4\",
    \"namespace\": \"rhel12\",
    \"namesp         


        

Answer 1

You want to look at the repositories array instead of treating the input as an array:

$ jq -r '.repositories[].name' file
rhel6.6
rhel7
