ansible , how to replace and filter json data?

I am trying to write ansible code first time to handle json.

I have a file in my /home/ which has following json data.

here is the input json

  "acl": [
    {
      "browse": true,
      "create": false
    },
    {
      "browse": false,
      "create": true
    }
  ],
  "groups": [
    {
      "name": "abc",
      "location": "texas"
    },
    {
      "name": "def",
      "location": "austin"
    }
  ],
  "users": [
    {
      "name": "admin",
      "description": "administrator",
      "password": "windows2011"
    },
    {
      "name": "testuser",
      "description": "guest",
      "password": "testpassword"
    }
  ]
}

I want to update password of the user in user's object where name is admin

so i that output file has updated password for user admin. the output file should be located in /home/location with _updated.json extension.

the output json should like this

{
  "acl": [
    {
      "browse": true,
      "create": false
    },
    {
      "browse": false,
      "create": true
    }
  ],
  "groups": [
    {
      "name": "abc",
      "location": "texas"
    },
    {
      "name": "def",
      "location": "austin"
    }
  ],
  "users": [
    {
      "name": "admin",
      "description": "administrator",
      "password": "updatedpassword"
    },
    {
      "name": "testuser",
      "description": "guest",
      "password": "testpassword"
    }
  ]
}

ansible code which i have written so far-

---
- name: Update admin user password in JSON file
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: Read the JSON file
      ansible.builtin.command:
        cmd: cat /home/conf.json
      register: json_content

Thank you.

• Declare the input file

  input_file: data.json

and read it into a dictionary

    - include_vars:
        file: "{{ input_file }}"
        name: data

gives

  data:
    acl:
    - browse: true
      create: false
    - browse: false
      create: true
    groups:
    - location: texas
      name: abc
    - location: austin
      name: def
    users:
    - description: administrator
      name: admin
      password: windows2011
    - description: guest
      name: testuser
      password: testpassword

• Declare the updated users

  users:
    - name: admin
      password: updatedpassword

and merge them

  update: "{{ [data.users, users] | community.general.lists_mergeby('name')
                                  | community.general.dict_kv('users') }}"

gives

  update:
    users:
    - description: administrator
      name: admin
      password: updatedpassword
    - description: guest
      name: testuser
      password: testpassword

• Update data

  data_update: "{{ [data, update] | combine }}"

gives

  data_update:
    acl:
    - browse: true
      create: false
    - browse: false
      create: true
    groups:
    - location: texas
      name: abc
    - location: austin
      name: def
    users:
    - description: administrator
      name: admin
      password: updatedpassword
    - description: guest
      name: testuser
      password: testpassword

• Declare the output file and write it

    - copy:
        dest: "{{ output_file }}"
        content: |
          {{ data_update | to_nice_json }}
      vars:
        arr: "{{ input_file | splitext | list }}"
        output_file: "{{ arr.0 }}_updated{{ arr.1 }}"

gives what you want

shell> diff data.json data_updated.json 
26c26
<             "password": "windows2011"
---
>             "password": "updatedpassword"

- hosts: localhost

  vars:

    input_file: data.json

    users:
      - name: admin
        password: updatedpassword

    update: "{{ [data.users, users] | community.general.lists_mergeby('name')
                                    | community.general.dict_kv('users') }}"
    data_update: "{{ [data, update] | combine }}"

  tasks:

    - include_vars:
        file: "{{ input_file }}"
        name: data

    - debug:
        var: data
    - debug:
        var: update
    - debug:
        var: data_update

    - copy:
        dest: "{{ output_file }}"
        content: |
          {{ data_update | to_nice_json }}
      vars:
        arr: "{{ input_file | splitext | list }}"
        output_file: "{{ arr.0 }}_updated{{ arr.1 }}"
