Querying JSON and JSONB data from Postgres
With Postgres' built-in JSON
and JSONB
data types, it's easy to store and interact with semi-structured data in a Postgres table. In this exercise, you'll observe some of the tooling that Postgres offers to query data of type JSON
from the nested_reviews
table. Best of luck!
