sql output json structure - json

Question

I need to get the following output about the sql query:
{
"records": [
{
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 1",
"email": "test1#test.com"
},
{
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 2",
"email": "test2#test2.com"
}
]
}
my attempt:
DECLARE #ttCustomer table (cname nvarchar(50),
email nvarchar(250));
INSERT #ttCustomer
VALUES ('test 1', 'test1#test.com');
INSERT #ttCustomer
VALUES ('test 2', 'test2#test.com');
SELECT 'customer' AS [records.attributes.type],
cname AS [records.name],
email AS [records.email]
FROM #ttCustomer
FOR JSON PATH;
almost perfect output result
[
{
"records": {
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 1",
"email": "test1#test.com"
}
},
{
"records": {
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 2",
"email": "test2#test.com"
}
}
]

Just define your ROOT:
DECLARE #ttCustomer table (cname nvarchar(50),
email nvarchar(250));
INSERT #ttCustomer
VALUES ('test 1', 'test1#test.com');
INSERT #ttCustomer
VALUES ('test 2', 'test2#test.com');
SELECT 'customer' AS [attributes.type],
cname AS [name],
email AS [email]
FROM #ttCustomer
FOR JSON PATH, ROOT('records');
Outputs:
{
"records": [
{
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 1",
"email": "test1#test.com"
},
{
"attributes": {
"type": "customer"
},
"name": "test 2",
"email": "test2#test.com"
}
]
}
