You need to cat each file, not output its name. You also need to output a comma before each json except the first one, and the enclosing square brackets:

#! /bin/bash

printf [

separator=""

find . -name '*data.json' -print0 | while IFS= read -d '' -r j ; do

    printf $separator

    separator=,

    cat "$j"

done

printf ]

This command will search all data*.json files in current and child folders and combine them as a results.json ( array )

find . -name data*.json -type f | xargs cat | sed -e s/}/},/g -e $s/,$/]/ -e 1s/^/[/ > results.json

I have done basic testing using below commands

echo {"name":"Alex", age:24, city:"Tokyo"} > sample.json

for i in {1..10} ; do cp sample.json data$i.json ; done

find . -name data*.json -type f | xargs cat | sed -e s/}/},/g -e $s/,$/]/ -e 1s/^/[/ > results.json

If you find its not working for a specific case, I will try to fix it. But as of now it will not work for nested json or json with array.
