Answer 1

You can use * and @ wildcards together within a shift transformation like this :

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "*": "address.&", // this needs an ampersand to replicate the whole content
      "@": "employee"   // while this one doesn't
    }
  }
]

the demo on the site http://jolt-demo.appspot.com/ is :

or another alternative option might be :

[
  {
    "operation": "shift",
    "spec": {
      "@": ["employee", "address"]
    }
  }
]
