How to keep only some fields of every object with jq map
The objects carry more than you need downstream — trim each one to the fields that matter.
Every filter was executed against the cheatsheet's sample config.json with jq 1.7 before publishing; the sample file sits at the bottom of the cheatsheet so you can reproduce every output.
jq -c '.users | map({name, city})' config.json
# output: [{"name":"ana","city":"madrid"},{"name":"bruno","city":"lisboa"},{"name":"carla","city":"madrid"}]
