Merging Two Json Files using JQ

Question

I have two json files that I would like to merge using jq in order to pass to AWS Lambda as a payload.

File 1

 {
    "Product": {
      "name": "Foo"
      "description": "bar",
     }
}

File 2

 {
    "Store": {
      "id": "123"
      "location": "abc",
     }
}

My desired output:

 {
    "Product": {
      "name": "Foo"
      "description": "bar",
     },
    "Store": {
      "id": "123"
      "location": "abc",
     }
}

I know I can do jq -s. File1 File2 jq -s. File1 File2 , but this puts it into an array - is there a way to do this merge without putting the two files into an array?

Answer 1

This seemed to work jq -s '.[0] *.[1]' File1 File2 jq -s '.[0] *.[1]' File1 File2
