JSON/JSONB Functions
JSON/JSONB functions are used to generate JSON data (see JSON Types).
Except the array_to_json and row_to_json functions, other JSON/JSONB functions and operators are supported only in 8.1.2 or later.
array_to_json(anyarray [, pretty_bool])

Return type: json
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT array_to_json('{{1,5},{99,100}}'::int[]); array_to_json ------------------ [[1,5],[99,100]] (1 row) |
row_to_json(record [, pretty_bool])
Description: Returns the row as JSON. Line feeds will be added between level-1 elements if pretty_bool is true.
Return type: json
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT row_to_json(row(1,'foo')); row_to_json --------------------- {"f1":1,"f2":"foo"} (1 row) |

Description: Checks whether all top-level elements in $1 contain all elements in $2, which is the same as the @> operator.
Return type: Boolean
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_contains('{"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}'::jsonb, '{"a":1}'); jsonb_contains ----------------- t (1 row) |
jsonb_concat(jsonb, jsonb)
Description: Combines two JSONB objects into one.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_concat('{"a":1, "b":2}'::jsonb, '{"c":3, "d":4}'::jsonb); jsonb_concat ---------------------------------- {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3, "d": 4} (1 row) |
jsonb_delete(jsonb, text)
Description: Deletes the key-value pair corresponding to the key value in jsonb.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_delete('{"a":1, "b":2}'::jsonb, 'a'); jsonb_delete -------------- {"b": 2} (1 row) |
jsonb_delete_idx(jsonb, text)
Description: Deletes the element corresponding to an array subscript.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_delete_idx('[0,1,2,3,4]'::jsonb, 2); jsonb_delete_idx ------------------ [0, 1, 3, 4] (1 row) |
jsonb_delete_array(jsonb, VARIADIC text[])
Description: Deletes multiple elements from the jsonb array.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_delete_array('["a", "b", "c"]'::jsonb , 'a', 'b'); jsonb_delete_array -------------------- ["c"] (1 row) |
jsonb_delete_path(jsonb, text[])
Description: Deletes elements of a specified path from the jsonb array.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_delete_path('{"a":{"b":{"c":1, "d":2}}, "e":3}'::jsonb , array['a', 'b']); jsonb_delete_path ------------------- {"a": {}, "e": 3} (1 row) |
jsonb_set(target jsonb, path text[], new_value jsonb [, create_missing boolean])
Description: Returns target with the section designated by path replaced by new_value, or with new_value added if create_missing is true (true by default) and the item designated by path does not exist. As with the path-oriented operators, negative integers that appear in path count from the end of JSON arrays.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_set('[{"f1":1,"f2":null},2,null,3]', '{0,f1}','[2,3,4]', false); jsonb_set --------------------------------------------- [{"f1": [2, 3, 4], "f2": null}, 2, null, 3] (1 row) |

SELECT jsonb_pretty('{"a":{"b":{"c":1, "d":2}}, "e":3}'::jsonb); jsonb_pretty --------------------- { + "a": { + "b": { + "c": 1,+ "d": 2 + } + }, + "e": 3 + } (1 row) |
jsonb_insert(target jsonb, path text[], new_value jsonb [, insert_after boolean])
Description: Returns the target where new_value is inserted. When the specified target is located within the JSONB array using the path, use the insert_after parameter to determine if new_value should be inserted after the target. The default value is false, meaning that the new value will be inserted after the target. If the target part specified by path is in a JSONB object, new_value is inserted only when the target part does not exist. Like path-oriented operators, a negative integer in path indicates that the count starts from the end of the JSON array.
Return type: jsonb
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
SELECT jsonb_insert('{"a": [0,1,2]}', '{a, 1}', '"new_value"'); jsonb_insert ------------------------------- {"a": [0, "new_value", 1, 2]} (1 row) |
