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}
