Conquering JSONB in PostgreSQL

CONQUERING
JSONB IN
POSTGRESQL
Ines Panker

Why did PostgreSQL add a
JSON data type?

Postgre SQL and NoSQL
Postgre 9.4 (December 2014) JSONB: Binary format, slower input, faster processing
JSON: Exact copy, same orderPostgre 9.2
No explicit
schema
Key-Value pairs in JSON are equal to
Key-Value pairs in columns
