adding parent element to json objects using jq/bash

I want to add a parent to each of the json objects within a file. My starting point is the following json file containing two json items: ``` { "id": { "S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63" }, "test": { "N": "5" }, "added": { "S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00" }, "foo": { "N": "88" }, "web": { "N": "103" } } { "id": { "S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63" }, "image_server_id": { "N": "5" }, "added": { "S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00" }, "result": { "N": "88" }, "data": { "foo": { "N": "103", "S": "test" } } } ``` Using jq and/or bash I want to generate the following json file: ``` { "*StaticString*": [ { "PutRequest": { "Item": { "id": { "S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63" }, "test": { "N": "5" }, "added": { "S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00" }, "foo": { "N": "88" }, "web": { "N": "103" } **} } }, { "PutRequest": { "Item": { "id": { "S": "cf7ebec368f241ead7ecf818ce9ed098406afa63" }, "image_server_id": { "N": "5" }, "added": { "S": "2017-02-15T17:56:19.958917+00:00" }, "result": { "N": "88" }, "data": { "foo": { "N": "103", "S": "test" } } **} } } ] } ``` To sum up I want to add ``` { "StaticString": [ { ``` at the beginning of the file. Then I need to put each json item into a parent ``` "PutRequest": { "Item": { ... } } ``` and generate an array out of the json items. I'm already knowing how to generate an array of the json items using `jq -s . testfile.json` But I don't know how to add a parent to each json item. I hope it's clear what I want to achieve. Thank's for your help, Chris
