We aren't a write-code-to-order service.

So go ahead and write one. You have our permission.

And stop "bumping" your not-a-question up the list. It's extremely rude, and will only end up getting you kicked off the site for abuse.

You should try the jq tools (jq-json-processor) in shell script to parse json.

You need something along the lines of:

jq -s '.[0] * .[1]' file1 file2

which will recursively merge two files into one.
