I am trying to convert a file containing key = value pairs into JSON.
This file might contain Windows EOL (`\r\n`) and empty lines.

Given the following input (mind the empty lines):

```
foo = aa
bar = bb

qux = cc
white space = white space
* = special-char

```

This is the expected result:

```
{
  "foo": "aa",
  "bar": "bb",
  "qux": "cc",
  "white space": "white space",
  "*": "special-char"
}

```

I managed to go this far:

```
{
  "foo": "aa"
}
{
  "bar": "bb"
}
{
  "qux": "cc"
}
{
  "white space": "white space"
}
{
  "*": "special-char"
}

```

Using the following command:

```
 jq --raw-input 'split("\n") | map(split(" = ") | { (.[0]): .[1] }) | .[]' 

```

But I can not figure out the missing bit. What is missing or is this a better way to achieve this?

**Edit:** added constraint about empty line and Windows EOL
