Convert json to Markdown Table in bash

I am trying to convert the below json to a markdown table(GitHub docs(.md file)), however not able to do so.

{
   "service_1":"abc-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com",
   "service_2":"def-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com",
   "service_3":"xyz-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com"

}

Command I tried:

cat json_file | jq -r '{"NAME": "ENDPOINT_ID"} + . | to_entries[] | "\(.key)\t\(.value)"'

Output I am getting:

 NAME         ENDPOINT-ID
service_1    abc-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com
service_2    def-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com
service_3    xyz-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com

The above output when committed to README.md github file losses its indentation(spaces) and is not properly divided into rows and columns, leading to bad visualization.

Link that I went through:

https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#tables

Expected output:

|    NAME    | ENDPOINT_ID |
| --------   | -------- |
| service_1  | abc-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com   |
| service_2  | def-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com   |
| service_3  | xyz-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com   |

A semi hard-coded solution could look like:

"|NAME|ENDPOINT_ID|\n|------|------|\n" + 
    (to_entries | map("|\(.key)|\(.value)|") | join("\n"))

1. Hard-coded header + second line
2. Loop (map()) over to_entires to use key and value
   1. Create a string were we surround key and value in |
   2. join() those lines with a newline (\n)

The above will output:

|NAME|ENDPOINT_ID|
|------|------|
|service_1|abc-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com|
|service_2|def-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com|
|service_3|xyz-endpoint.vpce.amazonaws.com|

Which renders as
