Hi,
For v2-0001-common-jsonapi-support-FRONTEND-clients.patch :

+ /* Clean up. */
+ termJsonLexContext(&lex);

At the end of termJsonLexContext(), empty is copied to lex. For stack
based JsonLexContext, the copy seems unnecessary.
Maybe introduce a boolean parameter for termJsonLexContext() to signal that
the copy can be omitted ?

+#ifdef FRONTEND
+ /* make sure initialization succeeded */
+ if (lex->strval == NULL)
+ return JSON_OUT_OF_MEMORY;

Should PQExpBufferBroken(lex->strval) be used for the check ?

Thanks
