jq remove empty objects from objects array

[lamyergeier]

The following command removes empty entries from jq: jq 'del(..|nulls)
But additionally I would also like to remove empty objects in an object array, how to do it?

Sample

[
	{
		"a": "1"
	},
        {},
	{
		"a": "2"
	},
	{}
]

Output desired

[
	{
		"a": "1"
	},
	{
		"a": "2"
	}
]
