The 9.4 version of PostgreSQL introduces the JSONB data type, a specialised representation of the JSON data, allowing PostgreSQL to be competitive in managing the “lingua franca” of the moment for the exchange of data via web services. It is useful to perform a number of tests to verify its actual performance.
