JSON_OBJECT
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The JSON_OBJECT function is used to produce simple JSON objects from scalar values, without aggregation(see also JSON_OBJECTAGG)
SELECT json_object( KEY 'firstName' VALUE author.first_name, KEY 'lastName' VALUE author.last_name ) FROM author
create.select(jsonObject(
key("firstName").value(AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME),
key("lastName").value(AUTHOR.LAST_NAME)))
.from(AUTHOR)
.fetch();
The result would look like this:
+--------------------------------------------+
| json_array |
+--------------------------------------------+
| {"firstName":"Paulo","lastName":"Coelho"} |
| {"firstName":"George","lastName":"Orwell"} |
+--------------------------------------------+
