parse error: Expected value before ',' at line 71, column 2

Question

I have two json files. If I am trying to add them into a single one, it is showing a parse error.

Can anyone explain how to rectify this?

The two files are: config.json

{   "config" :
    [
    {
    "IP": "10.97.05.212",
    "PORT": 80,
    "USERNAME": "admin",
    "ENABLE" : "False",
   
},
{
    "IP": "10.27.19.178",
    "PORT": 80,
    "USERNAME": "admin",

},
{
    "IP": "10.26.16.198",
    "PORT": 80,
    "USERNAME": "admin",

},
{
    "IP": "10.47.45.196",
    "PORT": 80,
    "USERNAME": "admin",
 
},

{
    "IP": "10.37.67.160",
    "PORT": 80,
    "USERNAME": "admin",


}

]}

config1.json

{
  "IP": "10.27.21.79",
  "PORT": 14564,
  "USERNAME": "admin",
}
{
  "IP": "10.27.21.79",
  "PORT": 14563,
  "USERNAME": "admin",
}
{
  "IP": "10.27.21.79",
  "PORT": 14566,
  "USERNAME": "admin",
}

jq -n 'input | .config += [inputs]' config.json config1.json

jq ' .[] += [ input ]' config.json config1.json

jq -s add config.json database.db

jq --slurp . config.json config1.json

I have used above jq commands to do the task. But getting the same parse error:

Expected value before ','

Can anyone explain how to do rectify this error?

@Yunnosch in config1.json after the first object there is ( }, ), this is the 71,2 — Sai, Oct 21 '20 at 07:04
Would you say that config1.json is JSON or a stream of JSON values? — Yunnosch, Oct 21 '20 at 07:08

Since config1.json is a stream of JSON entities, you could use the --slurpfile option:

jq --slurpfile config1 config1.json '.config += $config1' config.json
