Kotlin JSON access
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
JSON array elements or object attributes can be accessed using the JSON_GET_ELEMENT function or JSON_GET_ATTRIBUTE function which translate to the JSON subscript syntax, or something equivalent:
SELECT JSON_ARRAY(1, 2)->1 JSON_OBJECT(KEY 'a' VALUE 1)->'a'
create.select(
jsonGetElement(jsonArray(value(1), value(2)), 1)
jsonGetAttribute(jsonObject("a", value(1)), "a")).fetch();
Using the kotlin extensions module, these operators are also made available on Field<JSON;> and Field<JSONB> directly:
package org.jooq.kotlin operator fun Field<JSON?>.get(index: Int) = jsonGetElement(this, index) operator fun Field<JSON?>.get(index: Field<Int?>) = jsonGetElement(this, index) operator fun Field<JSON?>.get(name: String) = jsonGetAttribute(this, name) operator fun Field<JSON?>.get(name: Field<String?>) = jsonGetAttribute(this, name) // [... and more]
This allows for the leaner version below:
create.select(
jsonArray(value(1), value(2))[1],
jsonObject("a", value(1))["a"]).fetch();
