Current text is:
Add structured (non-text) data type (JSONB) for storing JSON data (OlegBartunov, Teodor Sigaev, Alexander Korotkov,
PeterGeoghegan, and AndrewDunstan)This allows for faster access to values in the JSON document and fasterand more
usefulindexing of JSON.  JSONB values are also typed asappropriate scalar SQL types.
