-----------------------------------
Summary: Simplify API for JSON access in DataFrames/SQL
Key: SPARK-30324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30324
Project: Spark
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.4.4
Reporter: Burak Yavuz
get_json_object() is a UDF to parse JSON fields. It is verbose and hard to use,
e.g. I wasn't expecting the path to a field to have to start with "$.".
We can simplify all of this when a column is of StringType, and a nested field
is requested. This API sugar will in the query planner be rewritten as
get_json_object.
This nested access can then be extended in the future to other semi-structured
formats.
