Pipeline Content

The pipeline flows primitives, maps and arrays.

Individual strings flowing on a pipeline can be simulated with:

echo \"red\" \"blue\" \"green\" | jq '.'

This is how an array can be injected in the pipeline:

echo "[\"red\", \"blue\"]" | jq '.'

... and this is how a map can be injected in the pipeline:

echo "{\"size\": 10}" | jq '.'

An iteration is pipeline content produced by the .[] filter, that converts and array into its individual elements.

Conversion from a map to an array.
