You can also do this:
b2bcreditonline=# select f.id, f.f1, f.f2, (select array_agg(t.key2) from
jsonb_to_recordset(js) as t(key2 text)) as key2s from foo as f;
id | f1 | f2 | key2s
----+-----------+------------+--------------------
1 | My text 1 | My text 1a | {r1k2val,r1k2val2}
2 | My text 2 | My text 2a | {r2k2val,r2k2val2}
(2 rows)
