Hi All,
In oracle we can use the *is json* check constraint for the json column to
ensure the data is well formed.
How do we ensure the same in postgres database?
Regards,
Nikhil Ingale

Well, if the data is in json(b) column, then it is well formed, isn't
it?
Best regards,

Hi Nikhil,
If you insist that you want to check without putting the content into a
JSON(B) column, you might try this function:
|create or replace function is_valid_json(p_json text) returns boolean
as $$ begin return (p_json::json is not null); exception when others
then return false; end; $$ language plpgsql immutable;|
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30187554/how-to-verify-a-string-is-valid-json-in-postgresql
It just tries to cast the text to JSON. If it can be casted, it's valid
JSON, otherwise it's not.
Regards,
Holger

https://pgpedia.info/p/pg_input_is_valid.html
in postgres 16, you can try
-------------------------------
with cte(x) as (select '{"hello":"world","hello":"yes"}')
select pg_input_is_valid(x,'jsonb') from cte;
---------------------------
It just tries to cast the text to JSON. If it can be casted, it's valid
> JSON, otherwise it's not.
correct me if I am wrong, seems null corner case not handled?

That check constraint isn't necessary in Postgres.
A column defined as jsonb (or json) will not accept invalid JSON.
That's pretty much the behaviour that's introduced in Oracle 23 with the new JSON data type.

PostgreSQL 16 has an IS JSON predicate.
It doesn't have a STRICT clause, which I don't see in the SQL standard.
So it might not do exactly the same thing.
