Postgres supports indexing an arbitrary json document. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html

Not sure if the query capabilities and syntax match azure docdb but the basic functionality should be workable.

Of course it does, but it's limited.

GIN does not support range searches (needed for <, <=, >, >=), prefix or wildcard, etc. It also doesn't support index-only scans, last I checked. You cannot efficiently ORDER BY a nested GIN value.

I recommend reading the paper.
