I don't claim to understand all this but from jsonb.h
/*
* JsonbValue: In-memory representation of Jsonb. This is a convenient
* deserialized representation, that can easily support using the "val"
* union across underlying types during manipulation. The Jsonb on-disk
* representation has various alignment considerations.
*/
/*
* Key/value pair within an Object.

* This struct type is only used briefly while constructing a Jsonb; it is
* *not* the on-disk representation.

* Pairs with duplicate keys are de-duplicated. We store the originally
* observed pair ordering for the purpose of removing duplicates in a
* well-defined way (which is "last observed wins").
