Describe the bug

I am running this command: aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region ca-central-1 | jq '.AvailabilityZones[]|(.ZoneName)' on 2 identical macOS and one Amazon Linux

The macOS subject to this issue is showing this error : "parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 18"

However, the Amazon and the Other macOS are showing the right output enter image description here

"ca-central-1a" "ca-central-1b" "ca-central-1d"

To Reproduce aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region ca-central-1 | jq '.AvailabilityZones[]|(.ZoneName)' on 2 identical macOS and one Amazon Linux output: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 18

Expected behavior "ca-central-1a" "ca-central-1b" "ca-central-1d"

Environment (please complete the following information): -macOS 11.4

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

The issue was in the output defaulted to YAML and not JSON. Once changed, the output is as expected.
