How to use jq to merge a list of dictionaries into one dictionary

$
0
0

I'm developing jq expressions on the command line. (I plan to use the expression with pyjq in python to parse http requests.)

The following command line:

$ cat some.json | jq '.collection.rows[].rowAnswers | map({ (.refCode) : .answers[0].responseText }) '

Results in two items.

[  {"NAME": "some_name1"  },  {"CODE": "code1"  },  {"SERVER": "server1"  }][  {"NAME": "name2"  },  {"CODE": "code2"  },  {"SERVER": "server2"  }]

This is a nice intermediate step. I'd like to merge each list of dictionaries into one dictionary. I'd like the final result to be:

{"NAME": "some_name1""CODE": "code1""SERVER": "server1"}{"NAME": "name2""CODE": "code2""SERVER": "server2"}

If that's too difficult, then [merge_dict][merge_dict] is good too.

There won't be any key collisions. Also, this is simplified output. I'd like an expression that merges all kv-pairs into one dictionary. I don't want to hardcode the actual name of the keys in the expression.

Thanks.
