json - How do I sum the values in an array of maps in jq?

Given a JSON stream of the following form:

{ "a": 10, "b": 11 } { "a": 20, "b": 21 } { "a": 30, "b": 31 }

I would like to sum the values in each of the objects and output a single object, namely:

{ "a": 60, "b": 63 }

I'm guessing this will probably require flattening the above list of objects into a an array of [name, value] pairs and then summing the values using reduce but the documentation of the syntax for using reduce is woeful.

Unless your jq has inputs, you will have to slurp the objects up using the -s flag. Then you'll have to do a fair amount of manipulation:

  1. Each of the objects needs to be mapped out to key/value pairs
  2. Flatten the pairs to a single array
  3. Group up the pairs by key
  4. Map out each group accumulating the values to a single key/value pair
  5. Map the pairs back to an object
map(to_entries)
    | add
    | group_by(.key)
    | map({
          key: .[0].key,
          value: map(.value) | add
      })
    | from_entries

With jq 1.5, this could be greatly improved: You can do away with slurping and just read the inputs directly.

$ jq -n '
reduce (inputs | to_entries[]) as {$key,$value} ({}; .[$key] += $value)
' input.json

Since we're simply accumulating all the values in each of the objects, it'll be easier to just run through the key/value pairs of all the inputs, and add them all up.
