json
, VARIADIC
path_elems
text[]
) → json
jsonb_extract_path
( from_json
jsonb
, VARIADIC
path_elems
text[]
) → jsonb
Extracts JSON sub-object at the specified path. (This is functionally equivalent to the #>
operator, but writing the path out as a variadic list can be more convenient in some cases.)
json_extract_path('{"f2":{"f3":1},"f4":{"f5":99,"f6":"foo"}}', 'f4', 'f6')
→ "foo"
json_extract_path_text
( from_json

) → text
jsonb_extract_path_text
( from_json
jsonb
, VARIADIC

) → text
Extracts JSON sub-object at the specified path as text
. (This is functionally equivalent to the #>>
operator.)

json_populate_record
( base
anyelement
, from_json
json
) → anyelement
jsonb_populate_record
( base
anyelement
, from_json
jsonb
) → anyelement
Expands the top-level JSON object to a row having the composite type of the base
argument. The JSON object is scanned for fields whose names match column names of the output row type, and their values are inserted into those columns of the output. (Fields that do not correspond to any output column name are ignored.) In typical use, the value of base
is just NULL
, which means that any output columns that do not match any object field will be filled with nulls. However, if base
isn't NULL
then the values it contains will be used for unmatched columns.
To convert a JSON value to the SQL type of an output column, the following rules are applied in sequence:
A JSON null value is converted to an SQL null in all cases.
If the output column is of type json
or jsonb
, the JSON value is just reproduced exactly.
If the output column is a composite (row) type, and the JSON value is a JSON object, the fields of the object are converted to columns of the output row type by recursive application of these rules.
Likewise, if the output column is an array type and the JSON value is a JSON array, the elements of the JSON array are converted to elements of the output array by recursive application of these rules.
Otherwise, if the JSON value is a string, the contents of the string are fed to the input conversion function for the column's data type.
Otherwise, the ordinary text representation of the JSON value is fed to the input conversion function for the column's data type.
While the example below uses a constant JSON value, typical use would be to reference a json
or jsonb
column laterally from another table in the query's FROM
clause. Writing json_populate_record
in the FROM
clause is good practice, since all of the extracted columns are available for use without duplicate function calls.
create type subrowtype as (d int, e text);
create type myrowtype as (a int, b text[], c subrowtype);
select * from json_populate_record(null::myrowtype, '{"a": 1, "b": ["2", "a b"], "c": {"d": 4, "e": "a b c"}, "x": "foo"}')
→
a | b | c ---+-----------+------------- 1 | {2,"a b"} | (4,"a b c")
jsonb_populate_record_valid
( base
anyelement
, from_json
json
) → boolean
Function for testing jsonb_populate_record
. Returns true
if the input jsonb_populate_record
would finish without an error for the given input JSON object; that is, it's valid input, false
otherwise.
create type jsb_char2 as (a char(2));
select jsonb_populate_record_valid(NULL::jsb_char2, '{"a": "aaa"}');
→
jsonb_populate_record_valid ----------------------------- f (1 row)
select * from jsonb_populate_record(NULL::jsb_char2, '{"a": "aaa"}') q;
→
ERROR: value too long for type character(2)
select jsonb_populate_record_valid(NULL::jsb_char2, '{"a": "aa"}');
→
jsonb_populate_record_valid ----------------------------- t (1 row)
select * from jsonb_populate_record(NULL::jsb_char2, '{"a": "aa"}') q;
→
a ---- aa (1 row)
json_populate_recordset
( base
anyelement
, from_json
json
) → setof anyelement
jsonb_populate_recordset
( base
anyelement
, from_json
jsonb
) → setof anyelement
Expands the top-level JSON array of objects to a set of rows having the composite type of the base
argument. Each element of the JSON array is processed as described above for json[b]_populate_record
.
create type twoints as (a int, b int);
select * from json_populate_recordset(null::twoints, '[{"a":1,"b":2}, {"a":3,"b":4}]')
→
a | b ---+--- 1 | 2 3 | 4
json_to_record
( json
) → record
jsonb_to_record
( jsonb
) → record
Expands the top-level JSON object to a row having the composite type defined by an AS
clause. (As with all functions returning record
, the calling query must explicitly define the structure of the record with an AS
clause.) The output record is filled from fields of the JSON object, in the same way as described above for json[b]_populate_record
. Since there is no input record value, unmatched columns are always filled with nulls.
create type myrowtype as (a int, b text);
select * from json_to_record('{"a":1,"b":[1,2,3],"c":[1,2,3],"e":"bar","r": {"a": 123, "b": "a b c"}}') as x(a int, b text, c int[], d text, r myrowtype)
→
a | b | c | d | r ---+---------+---------+---+--------------- 1 | [1,2,3] | {1,2,3} | | (123,"a b c")
json_to_recordset
( json
) → setof record
jsonb_to_recordset
( jsonb
) → setof record
Expands the top-level JSON array of objects to a set of rows having the composite type defined by an AS
clause. (As with all functions returning record
, the calling query must explicitly define the structure of the record with an AS
clause.) Each element of the JSON array is processed as described above for json[b]_populate_record
.
select * from json_to_recordset('[{"a":1,"b":"foo"}, {"a":"2","c":"bar"}]') as x(a int, b text)
→
a | b ---+----- 1 | foo 2 |
jsonb_set
( target
jsonb
, path
text[]
, new_value
jsonb
[, create_if_missing
boolean
] ) → jsonb
Returns target
with the item designated by path
replaced by new_value
, or with new_value
added if create_if_missing
is true (which is the default) and the item designated by path
does not exist. All earlier steps in the path must exist, or the target
is returned unchanged. As with the path oriented operators, negative integers that appear in the path
count from the end of JSON arrays. If the last path step is an array index that is out of range, and create_if_missing
is true, the new value is added at the beginning of the array if the index is negative, or at the end of the array if it is positive.
jsonb_set('[{"f1":1,"f2":null},2,null,3]', '{0,f1}', '[2,3,4]', false)
→ [{"f1": [2, 3, 4], "f2": null}, 2, null, 3]
jsonb_set('[{"f1":1,"f2":null},2]', '{0,f3}', '[2,3,4]')
→ [{"f1": 1, "f2": null, "f3": [2, 3, 4]}, 2]
jsonb_set_lax
( target
jsonb
, path
text[]
, new_value
jsonb
[, create_if_missing
boolean
[, null_value_treatment
text
]] ) → jsonb
If new_value
is not NULL
, behaves identically to jsonb_set
. Otherwise behaves according to the value of null_value_treatment
which must be one of 'raise_exception'
, 'use_json_null'
, 'delete_key'
, or 'return_target'
. The default is 'use_json_null'
.
jsonb_set_lax('[{"f1":1,"f2":null},2,null,3]', '{0,f1}', null)
→ [{"f1": null, "f2": null}, 2, null, 3]
jsonb_set_lax('[{"f1":99,"f2":null},2]', '{0,f3}', null, true, 'return_target')
→ [{"f1": 99, "f2": null}, 2]
jsonb_insert
( target
jsonb
, path
text[]
, new_value
jsonb
[, insert_after
boolean
] ) → jsonb
Returns target
with new_value
inserted. If the item designated by the path
is an array element, new_value
will be inserted before that item if insert_after
is false (which is the default), or after it if insert_after
is true. If the item designated by the path
is an object field, new_value
will be inserted only if the object does not already contain that key. All earlier steps in the path must exist, or the target
is returned unchanged. As with the path oriented operators, negative integers that appear in the path
count from the end of JSON arrays. If the last path step is an array index that is out of range, the new value is added at the beginning of the array if the index is negative, or at the end of the array if it is positive.
jsonb_insert('{"a": [0,1,2]}', '{a, 1}', '"new_value"')
→ {"a": [0, "new_value", 1, 2]}
jsonb_insert('{"a": [0,1,2]}', '{a, 1}', '"new_value"', true)
→ {"a": [0, 1, "new_value", 2]}
json_strip_nulls
( json
) → json
jsonb_strip_nulls
( jsonb
) → jsonb
Deletes all object fields that have null values from the given JSON value, recursively. Null values that are not object fields are untouched.
json_strip_nulls('[{"f1":1, "f2":null}, 2, null, 3]')
→ [{"f1":1},2,null,3]
jsonb_path_exists
( target
jsonb
, path
jsonpath
[, vars
jsonb
[, silent
boolean
]] ) → boolean
Checks whether the JSON path returns any item for the specified JSON value. (This is useful only with SQL-standard JSON path expressions, not predicate check expressions, since those always return a value.) If the vars
argument is specified, it must be a JSON object, and its fields provide named values to be substituted into the jsonpath
expression. If the silent
argument is specified and is true
, the function suppresses the same errors as the @?
and @@
operators do.
jsonb_path_exists('{"a":[1,2,3,4,5]}', '$.a[*] ? (@ >= $min && @ <= $max)', '{"min":2, "max":4}')
→ t
jsonb_path_match
( target
jsonb
, path
jsonpath
[, vars
jsonb
[, silent
boolean
]] ) → boolean
Returns the SQL boolean result of a JSON path predicate check for the specified JSON value. (This is useful only with predicate check expressions, not SQL-standard JSON path expressions, since it will either fail or return NULL
if the path result is not a single boolean value.) The optional vars
and silent
arguments act the same as for jsonb_path_exists
.
jsonb_path_match('{"a":[1,2,3,4,5]}', 'exists($.a[*] ? (@ >= $min && @ <= $max))', '{"min":2, "max":4}')
→ t
jsonb_path_query
( target
jsonb
, path
jsonpath
[, vars
jsonb
[, silent
boolean
]] ) → setof jsonb
Returns all JSON items returned by the JSON path for the specified JSON value. For SQL-standard JSON path expressions it returns the JSON values selected from target
. For predicate check expressions it returns the result of the predicate check: true
, false
, or null
. The optional vars
and silent
arguments act the same as for jsonb_path_exists
.
select * from jsonb_path_query('{"a":[1,2,3,4,5]}', '$.a[*] ? (@ >= $min && @ <= $max)', '{"min":2, "max":4}')
→
jsonb_path_query ------------------ 2 3 4
jsonb_path_query_array
( target
jsonb
, path
jsonpath
[, vars
jsonb
[, silent
boolean
]] ) → jsonb
Returns all JSON items returned by the JSON path for the specified JSON value, as a JSON array. The parameters are the same as for jsonb_path_query
.
jsonb_path_query_array('{"a":[1,2,3,4,5]}', '$.a[*] ? (@ >= $min && @ <= $max)', '{"min":2, "max":4}')
→ [2, 3, 4]
jsonb_path_query_first
( target
jsonb
, path
jsonpath
[, vars
jsonb
[, silent
boolean
]] ) → jsonb
Returns the first JSON item returned by the JSON path for the specified JSON value, or NULL
if there are no results. The parameters are the same as for jsonb_path_query
.
jsonb_path_query_first('{"a":[1,2,3,4,5]}', '$.a[*] ? (@ >= $min && @ <= $max)', '{"min":2, "max":4}')
→ 2
jsonb_path_exists_tz

jsonb_path_query_first_tz
( target

[, vars
jsonb
[, silent

These functions act like their counterparts described above without the _tz
suffix, except that these functions support comparisons of date/time values that require timezone-aware conversions. The example below requires interpretation of the date-only value 2015-08-02
as a timestamp with time zone, so the result depends on the current TimeZone setting. Due to this dependency, these functions are marked as stable, which means these functions cannot be used in indexes. Their counterparts are immutable, and so can be used in indexes; but they will throw errors if asked to make such comparisons.
jsonb_path_exists_tz('["2015-08-01 12:00:00-05"]', '$[*] ? (@.datetime() < "2015-08-02".datetime())')
→ t
Converts the given JSON value to pretty-printed, indented text.
jsonb_pretty('[{"f1":1,"f2":null}, 2]')
→
[ { "f1": 1, "f2": null }, 2 ]
Returns the type of the top-level JSON value as a text string. Possible types are object
, array
, string
, number
, boolean
, and null
. (The null
result should not be confused with an SQL NULL; see the examples.)
