Re: json results parsing

Thanks you guys for answering my questions, and sorry for confusion.
To clarify, I think my question is functions like json_each or
json_object_keys() are
set returning functions (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/functions-srf.html),
which means it returns a set of results into a Datum.
I am wondering how to parse the Datum? I know there are functions like
DatumGetCString()
which parse the Datum into a cstring. Are there any helpers for set
returning functions?
