JSON makes perfect sense in a database that already supports all of: BLOB, TEXT, XML, ARRAY, and composite datatypes, including any datatype, including those on this list, for members of ARRAY and composites.

OTOH, Postgres has had XML since v8.2 (2006) and JSON since 9.2 (2012), and “tables in <supported structured serialization format>” hasn’t happened yet, even as discussion item AFAIK, so perhaps it would be bad, but even so it seems to be just fantasizing something to worry about.
