and not this :

SELECT "code", "value"
FROM JSON_TABLE('{[{"code" :"00001","value" :50},
{"code" :"00002","value" :30},
{"code" :"00003","value" :40}]}',
'lax $.[*]'
COLUMNS ("code" CHAR(10),
"value" DEC(9, 3)))

Is the array name needed ?

Yes.

You should familiarize yourself with the JSON format:

https://www.json.org/

It's quite simple and regular. Curly braces, if not empty, can only
contain name:value pairs.

It is easier to understand if you know the concept of associative
array, or hash, or dictionary from other languages.
