yaml formatted data
I think your issue is that the top-level type in file.json is not a map but an array. If I use the following file.json: 
{
  "cosign":{"pkm":"arkade"},
  "flux":{"pkm":"go"},
  "kubectl":{"pkm":"arkade"}
}
{
  "cosign":{"pkm":"arkade"},
  "flux":{"pkm":"go"},
  "kubectl":{"pkm":"arkade"}
}
And the following Taskfile: 
version: '3'

tasks:
  default:
    vars:
      FILE:
        sh: cat file.json
      ARRAY:
        ref: "fromJson .FILE"
    cmds:
      - for:
          var: ARRAY
        cmd: |
          echo '{{.KEY}}: {{.ITEM.pkm}}'
version: '3'

tasks:
  default:
    vars:
      FILE:
        sh: cat file.json
      ARRAY:
        ref: "fromJson .FILE"
    cmds:
      - for:
          var: ARRAY
        cmd: |
          echo '{{.KEY}}: {{.ITEM.pkm}}'
I get the output: 
task: [default] echo 'cosign: arkade'

cosign: arkade
task: [default] echo 'flux: go'

flux: go
task: [default] echo 'kubectl: arkade'

kubectl: arkade
task: [default] echo 'cosign: arkade'

cosign: arkade
task: [default] echo 'flux: go'

flux: go
task: [default] echo 'kubectl: arkade'

kubectl: arkade
Would something like that work for your use-case?

@cloudneopren , I want to make sure I understand your question. The example in the docs shows: 
tasks:
  foo:
    vars:
      ARRAY: [1, 2, 3]
tasks:
  foo:
    vars:
      ARRAY: [1, 2, 3]
Are you asking about whether you can format the array like this? 
tasks:
  foo:
    vars:
      ARRAY:
        - 1
        - 2
        - 3
tasks:
  foo:
    vars:
      ARRAY:
        - 1
        - 2
        - 3
If so, yes. Both formats are valid YAML. If that is not your question, could you expand on it?
