JQ Query for nested values-CodePudding

I'm sure this has been answered, but I can only find similar questions.. nothing which actually answers mine.

I have some JSON..

example:

{
    "Name": "test.example.net.",
    "Type": "A",
    "AliasTarget": {
        "HostedZoneId": "XXX12345XX54321",
        "DNSName": "test.example.net.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.",
        "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
    }
},

I want to return the Name, Type & DNSName only.

I've got close with..

.ResourceRecordSets[] | "\(.Name) \t\(.Type) \t\(.AliasTarget)"

But that returns the entire array AliasTarget - I'm trying to work out the correct syntax to pick out just DNSName

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

You'll need .AliasTarget.DNSName to get the .DNSName inside the .AliasTarget object:

.ResourceRecordSets[] | "\(.Name) \t\(.Type) \t\(.AliasTarget.DNSName)"

"test.example.net. \tA \ttest.example.net.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com."
