The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/functions-json.html
Description:
Regarding the Json documentation (9.16.1: processing and creating JSON
data), I would like to suggest that the reference to
json_agg/jsonb_agg/json_object_agg/jsonb_object_agg (section 9.21) be made
more prominent. When looking through the list of json[b] processing
functions, it's really easy to miss the footnote mentioning the aggregate
functions. The list of functions in table 9.47 includes a lot of functions
that are *really*similar in purpose to the json aggregator functions, and
it's easy to assume that anything related to building JSON[B] objects *must*
be listed there. I just spent hours searching for a way to turn one column
of keys and one column of values into a JSONB object (without coercing all
numeric values to json strings), and I can't imagine I'm the only one.
Regards,
Alex Denman
