I have multiple json files look like this:  
temp/file-a.json:  
{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“x”: 5”,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“y”: “name1”,  
}

tmp/file-b.jsob:  
{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“x”: “10”,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“y”: “name2”,  
}

tmp/file-c.json:  
{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“x”: “7”,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“y”: “name3”,  
}
