jq

Remove property

Remove property from a JSON array of objects:

{
  "member_inputs": [
    {
      "name": "Thomas",
      "input_type": "select"
    },
    {
      "name": "Martha",
      "input_type": "text"
    }
  ]
}

jq '.member_details |= map(del(.input_type))' memberDetails.json

Add '-i' to modify the source file directly (in-place)

Multiple properties can be deleted simply by chaining, e.g.(del(.input_type, .another_property))
