parse JSON Array with spaces in bash - json

Question

I'm trying to parse the below json array and get the values from it. But it is not working with spaces as values. I did find some solutions in stackoverflow but nothing seems to work.
JSON
{
"apps": [
{
"name": "Root Certification Authority - G2",
"expiryDate": "Monday, 09 October 2023 20:03:25",
"impactStatement": "Apps using this root certificate will have an actual impact",
"notifyBeforeInDays": 60
},
{
"name": "Bamboo",
"expiryDate": "Sunday, 20 November 2022 03:25:23",
"impactStatement": "CI/CD wont be working",
"sop": "https://somelink/Bamboo+SOPs",
"notifyBeforeInDays": 30
},
{
"name": "Vault - Client",
"expiryDate": "Monday, 09 October 2023 20:03:25",
"impactStatement": "All Mule applications for that particular environment will stop working",
"notifyBeforeInDays": 60
},
{
"name": "Consul",
"expiryDate": "Monday, 21 August 2023 14:43:56",
"impactStatement": "No Direct impact or never had any such scenario so far",
"notifyBeforeInDays": 30
},
{
"name": "bitbucket",
"expiryDate": "08 September 2021 13:16:06",
"impactStatement": "No Impact",
"notifyBeforeInDays": 15
}
]
}
And I'm using the below code to parse the json
appls=$(awk '{print $0}' ${work_dir}/scripts/applications.json | jq -c '. |select(.apps !=null) |.apps[]')
echo "*****"
echo $appls
echo "*****"
for row in ${appls}; do
echo $row
validateAndNotify $row
done
And when i print the above variable following output is printed, which is not a valid one.
*****
{"name":"bitbucket","expiryDate":"08 September 2021 13:16:06","impactStatement":"No Impact","notifyBeforeInDays":15} such scenario so far","notifyBeforeInDays":30}","notifyBeforeInDays":60}Bamboo+SOPs","notifyBeforeInDays":30}
*****
{"name":"Root
I want to parse the apps array and get each value inside that node.

You need to quote your variables in the shell to prevent from word splitting:
#!/bin/bash
work_dir="/foo/bar"
validateAndNotify() {
echo "${1}"
}
appls=$(jq -c '.apps[]?' "${work_dir}/scripts/applications.json")
echo "*****"
echo "${appls}"
echo "*****"
while read -r row ; do
validateAndNotify "${row}"
done <<< "${appls}"
PS: Shortened the jq command. Thanks jthill
