Step: Reshape: to_entries / from_entries

Reshape: to_entries / from_entries

to_entries turns an object into an array of {key, value} records so you can iterate over key/value pairs; from_entries rebuilds an object from them.

{"a":1} | to_entries    # => [{"key":"a","value":1}]

Why it matters: it's how you loop over unknown keys, or rename/rekey an object programmatically.

Your turn: convert the scores object into an array of {name, score} records.

Input:

{
  "alice": 8,
  "bob": 5,
  "carol": 9
}

jq Expression

Expected:

[
  {
    "name": "alice",
    "score": 8
  },
  {
    "name": "bob",
    "score": 5
  },
  {
    "name": "carol",
    "score": 9
  }
]
