 Would using jsonb be more consistent?

Yes, casting to jsonb seems produce consistent output:

# SELECT array_to_json(array[1, 2, 3])::jsonb, json_build_array(1, 2, 3)::jsonb;
 array_to_json | json_build_array 
---------------+------------------
 [1, 2, 3]     | [1, 2, 3]

That makes sense I suppose, given that only the structure in preserved in the jsonb representation.

Thanks! I should have thought of that myself.
