+        Extracts a scalar from a JSON string.
+
+        This method searches a JSON string for a given path expression and 
returns the value if the
+        value at that path is scalar. Non-scalar values cannot be returned. By 
default, the value is
+        returned as `DataTypes.STRING()`. Using `returningType` a different 
type can be chosen, with
+        types with the following type roots being supported:
+
+        * `VARCHAR`
+        * `BOOLEAN`
+        * `INTEGER`
+        * `DOUBLE`
+
+        For empty path expressions or errors a behavior can be defined to 
either return `null`,
+        raise an error or return a defined default value instead.
+
+        Examples:
+        ::
+
+            >>> lit('{"a": true}').json_value('$.a')
+            >>> lit('{"a": true}').json_value('$.a', DataTypes.BOOLEAN())
+            >>> lit('{"a": true}').json_value('lax $.b', \

Review comment:
       No, it isn't. I'll remove it to make it even more of a unique example.
