> Postgres is bowing to the inevitable

I think PostgreSQL has always been very pragmatic. It's supported JSON natively since 9.2 (Sep 2012).

You're right that "mature" features and projects have a very good understand of the schema. But not everything is that.

Suppose I want to collect info from the Github API about a bunch of repos. I can just store the entire JSON response in a table and then query it at my leisure.

There's also something to be said for contiguous access. Joining tons of little records together has performance problems. Composite types and arrays can also fill this void, but they both have their own usability quirks.
