jq retain missing array objects from capturing group and update array

Question

Input

[{
        \"tags\": [{
                \"value\": \"domain:sourcing\"
            },
            {
                  


        

Answer 1

jq solution:

jq '{domain: "-", apiname: "-"} as $o 
    | map([.tags[] | .value | split(":") | {(.[0]) : .[1]}] | add | $o + .)' input.json

• {domain: "-", apiname: "-"} as $o - used as a template object

The output:

[
  {
    "domain": "sourcing",
    "apiname": "src1"
  },
  {
    "domain": "-",
    "apiname": "fin1"
  },
  {
    "domain": "fin1",
    "apiname": "-"
  }
]
