The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/functions-json.html Description:
In https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/functions-json.html, the table 9.40, json and jsonb operators lists '->>' and '#>>' operators and the difference written is the second one go to the specific location. I am not an expert in postgres! But from my experience, '#>>' can also parse the data when it is a stringified JSON, having escape charterers in it! for ex : for a scalar value in jsonb : "{\"attr\":\"value\"}", from which we cannot read keys or values as such, Query : select (column #>> '{}') from table; will give parsed json : {"attr" : "value"} from which keys and values can be extracted. please mention is there if it is right, as i struggled a lot to figure it out! PS: pardon my language, and my concern if it is not right! Thank you!
