Reading mulitple json array into rows in SQL Server - json

Question

Given the sample json data below, how can I write a query to pull the array data all in one step to individual column?
DECLARE #json NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET #json = N'{
"Title":"ReportExport",
"Attachment":"",
"Name":"Dhoni",
"FirstTextArea":"Dhoni",
"Radio":"First",
"CheckBox":"{C++~.Net}",
"FileUpload":"",
"FirstGroupitem":[
{
"Address":"QTUvNU55THBxT2hmVXFkWGpia2NJQT09",
"Age":"30",
"TestField":"",
"Country":"ind",
"SecondTextArea":"11"
},
{
"Address":"OVpuaXpxNTlrZWg4dGI4VXRYMUg0Zz09",
"Age":"30",
"TestField":"",
"Country":"us",
"SecondTextArea":"22"
},
{
"Address":"WGErNFU2S0tYekdsRWZTT2NxSzZLQT09",
"Age":"30",
"TestField":"",
"Country":"us",
"SecondTextArea":"33"
}
],
"SecondGroupitem":[
{
"Address1":"QTUvNU55THBxT2hmVXFkWGpia2NJQT09",
"Age1":"30"
},
{
"Address1":"OVpuaXpxNTlrZWg4dGI4VXRYMUg0Zz09",
"Age1":"30"
}
]
}';
Statement:
SELECT i.Title,i.Attachment,i.Name,i.FirstTextArea,i.Radio,i.CheckBox,i.FileUpload,'FirstGroupitem' as FirstGroupitem,
a.Address, a.Age,a.TestField,a.Country,a.SecondTextArea
FROM OPENJSON(#json)
WITH (
Title VARCHAR(max) N'$.Title',
Attachment VARCHAR(max) N'$.Attachment',
Name VARCHAR(max) N'$.Name',
FirstTextArea VARCHAR(max) N'$.FirstTextArea',
Radio VARCHAR(max) N'$.Radio',
CheckBox VARCHAR(max) N'$.CheckBox',
FileUpload VARCHAR(max) N'$.FileUpload',
FirstGroupitem nvarchar(max) '$.FirstGroupitem' AS JSON
) AS i
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(i.FirstGroupitem)
WITH (
Address VARCHAR(max) N'$.Address',
Age VARCHAR(max) N'$.Age',
TestField VARCHAR(max) N'$.TestField',
Country VARCHAR(max) N'$.Country',
SecondTextArea VARCHAR(max) N'$.SecondTextArea'
)
) a
I want output like this:

You need to join the items from the $.FirstGroupitem" and $."SecondGroupitem JSON arrays by index:
Statement:
SELECT
i.Title, i.Attachment, i.Name, i.FirstTextArea, i.Radio, i.CheckBox,
j.FirstGroupAddress, j.SecondGroupAddress
FROM OPENJSON(#json)
WITH (
Title VARCHAR(max) N'$.Title',
Attachment VARCHAR(max) N'$.Attachment',
Name VARCHAR(max) N'$.Name',
FirstTextArea VARCHAR(max) N'$.FirstTextArea',
Radio VARCHAR(max) N'$.Radio',
CheckBox VARCHAR(max) N'$.CheckBox',
FileUpload VARCHAR(max) N'$.FileUpload',
FirstGroupitem nvarchar(max) '$.FirstGroupitem' AS JSON,
SecondGroupitem nvarchar(max) '$.SecondGroupitem' AS JSON
) AS i
OUTER APPLY (
SELECT f2.Address AS FirstGroupAddress, s2.Address AS SecondGroupAddress
FROM OPENJSON (i.FirstGroupitem) f1
FULL JOIN OPENJSON (i.SecondGroupitem) s1 ON f1.[key] = s1.[key]
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(f1.[value]) WITH (
Address varchar(100) '$.Address'
-- Additional columns here
) f2
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(s1.[value]) WITH (
Address varchar(100) '$.Address1'
-- Additional columns here
) s2
) j
Result:
Title Attachment Name FirstTextArea Radio CheckBox FirstGroupAddress SecondGroupAddress
