How to pick up specific values from array of objects into target array of objects?

[manmohantarle]

Hello @tidwall

I want to get values for some keys from an array of objects and resulting value should also be array of objects with specified keys,

as per given below,
source

[
{
"name": "tom",
"age":37,
"children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"],
"fav.movie": "Deer Hunter"
},
{
"name": "riddle",
"age":45,
"children": ["Json","James","Jill"],
"fav.movie": "Saw"
}
]

target json

[
{
"name": "tom",
"children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"]
},
{
"name": "riddle",
"children": ["Json","James","Jill"]
}
]

how can I achieve this?

You can achieve that with multipaths (see https://github.com/tidwall/gjson/blob/master/SYNTAX.md#multipaths ): ``` #.{name,children} ```
