jmespath search nested array issue

I need to search all dict in a nested array as below by its key with jmespath

my_list = [[{'age': 1, 'name': 'kobe'}, {'age': 2, 'name': 'james'}], [{'age': 3, 'name': 'kobe'}]]

I got an empty list with jmespath search: jmespath.search("[][?name=='kobe']", my_list)

how can I get result: [{'age': 1, 'name': 'kobe'}, {'age': 3, 'name': 'kobe'}] with jmespath search

Solution

  • Use the following jmesQuery:

    []|[?name=='kobe']

    on input:

    [[{"age": 1, "name": "kobe"}, {"age": 2, "name": "james"}], [{"age": 3, "name": "kobe"}]]

    to get output:

    [
  {
    "age": 1,
    "name": "kobe"
  },
  {
    "age": 3,
    "name": "kobe"
  }
]
