How to iterate objects from JSON array file in batch script - json

Question

I have a windows batch script to perform POST request using curl and reads the data from JSON file, it works fine with only a single object in the file and it looks like this.
curl -u username#password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d #file.json http://apiurl.com
and the json file is this:
{
"name": "Empty name",
"properties": {
"active": "True",
"subcity_zone": "East Hararge",
"woreda": "Meta"
}
}
But now I want to send the request each object in the array by iterating each item. So, How do I iterate each JSON object from the file?
Here is what the new JSON array file looks like:
[{
"name": "test facility I",
"properties": {
"active": "True",
"city": "",
"subcity_zone": "East Hararge",
"woreda": "Meta"
}
},
{
"name": "test facility II",
"properties": {
"active": "True",
"subcity_zone": "East Hararge",
"woreda": "Girawa"
}
}]

Using jq:
jq -c '.[]' file | while read js; do
curl -u username#password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d #<(echo "$js") http://apiurl.com
done
The jq command extracts the each object in one line that is read by read command into the $js variable.
The <(echo "$js") creates a temporary file that is passed to curl.
