Hi and hope this finds you well,

PostgreSQL has state of the art JSON(B) data type and query support, and
basic updates as well, eg jsonb_set().

How about enabling users to do more advanced processing of JSON
data inside the database itself, using JavaScript?

There's the PLV8 extension https://github.com/plv8/plv8
but it's not available for many major db providers (eg Heroku), making it
hard to adopt it. Having it supported in the standard PostgreSQL
distribution, besides the existing 4 languages (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/xplang.html) would be awesome!

Would you kindly consider this?

Thanks & stay safe,
Marius
