Hi Nikita,

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Hi Alex!

Glad you made so much effort to develop this patch set!
I think this is an important part of Json functionality.

I've looked into you patch and noticed change in behavior
in new test results:

postgres@postgres=# create table t(x int, y jsonb);
insert into t select 1, '{"a": 1, "b": 42}'::jsonb;
insert into t select 1, '{"a": 2, "b": {"c": 42}}'::jsonb;
insert into t select 1, '{"a": 3, "b": {"c": "42"}, "d":[11, 12]}'::jsonb;
CREATE TABLE
Time: 6.373 ms
INSERT 0 1
Time: 3.299 ms
INSERT 0 1
Time: 2.532 ms
INSERT 0 1
Time: 2.453 ms

Original master:
postgres@postgres=# select (t.y).b.c.d.e from t;
ERROR:  column notation .b applied to type jsonb, which is not a composite type
LINE 1: select (t.y).b.c.d.e from t;
                ^
Time: 0.553 ms

Patched (with v11):
postgres@postgres=# select (t.y).b.c.d.e from t;
 e
---



(3 rows)

Is this correct?

This is correct.

With this patch, the query should return 3 empty rows. We expect
dot notation to behave the same as the json_query() below in lax mode
with NULL ON EMPTY.

postgres=# select json_query(y, 'lax $.b.c.d.e' WITH CONDITIONAL ARRAY WRAPPER NULL ON EMPTY NULL ON ERROR) from t;
 json_query
------------



(3 rows)

Best,
Alex
