I use jq to transform a complex json object into a tinier one. My query is:

jq 'to_entries[]| {companyId: (.key), companyTitle: (.value.title), companyCode: (.value.booking_service_code)}' companies.json

Now, the (.key) is parsed as a string, yet I want companyId to be a number.

My result currently looks like this:

{
  "companyId": "1337",
  "companyTitle": "Some company title",
  "companyCode": "oxo"
}

yet it should be like:

{
  "companyId": 1337,
  "companyTitle": "Some company title",
  "companyCode": "oxo"
}
