* Malformed array literal in goin from jsonb to real[]

This value exists in my jsonb column:

[[-0.7452975, -0.21457797, 0.631259], [0.66549873, -0.2969812, 0.6847727],
[0.04053491, 0.9304614, 0.3641407]]

Which obviously blows up when doing (jsonb->>col)::real[] with malformed
array literal.

Is there a convenient function to do this casting or do I need to do some
awful string munging?

Use jsonb_populate_record with a custom type:

	create type myrec as (col real[][]);
	
	select * from jsonb_populate_record(null::myrec, '{"col":[[0,1],[2,3]]}');
	
	      col
	---------------
	 {{0,1},{2,3}}
	(1 row)

I just noticed that it's also possible without a custom type:

	select * from jsonb_to_record('{"col":[[0,1],[2,3]]}') as t(col real[]);
