Iterating through JSON array in Shell script

by

Just use a filter that would return each item in the array. Then loop over the results, just make sure you use the compact output option (-c) so each result is put on a single line and is treated as one item in the loop.

jq -c '.[]' input.json | while read i; do
    # do stuff with $i
done
