How to iterate each object in json array jq [duplicate] - json

Question

This question already has answers here:
Iterating through JSON array in Shell script
(10 answers)
Closed last year.
Intention: Need to iterate the each item in json array using jq and proccess seperately
api returns data in form
{
"name": [
{
"first": "first",
"class": false,
"type": "B"
},
{
"first": "second",
"class": false,
"type": "B"
},
{
"first": "third",
"class": false,
"type": "A"
}
]
}
And i am able to parse it as
data=`curl http://some.ur;l`
echo "$data" | jq -rc '.name[] | select(.type=="B") | .class=true'
it returns data as
{"first": "first","class": true, "type": "B"}
{"first": "second", "class": true, "type": "B"}
Now i want to proccess these two outputs in such a way so that i can make a PUT call for each of them . I tried to learn some concepts of xargs but could not make it done
I piped the output to | xargs -n1 but it removed all the quotes from the string

Answer 1

You could loop through using while read:
while IFS= read -r line
do
# your PUT goes here
# dummy
printf 'PUTting JSON: %s\n' "$line"
done < <(jq -c '.name[] | select(.type == "B") | .class = true')
If you absolutely need to use xargs then use a newline character as delimiter
jq -c '.name[] | select(.type == "B") | .class = true' \
| xargs -d $'\n' printf 'PUTting JSON: %s\n' # dummy

Answer 2

The only part you're missing is a while read loop.
data=$(curl ...)
while IFS= read -r line; do
curl -XPUT -d"$line" http://some_url
done < <(jq -c ... <<<"$data")
...or...
curl ... |
jq -c ... |
xargs -d $'\n' -n 1 curl -XPUT http://some_url -d
Note:
xargs -d $'\n' tells xargs to treat only newlines (and not other whitespace) as separators between items; it also turns off treatment of quotes and backslashes as syntactic rather than literal.
xargs -n 1 tells xargs only to pass one data item to each copy of curl.
Making the last argument to curl be -d means that xargs will place the data immediately after that position.
