Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing DataFusion's existing datatype and function support, then compare the requested behavior with the linked PostgreSQL JSON functions reference. Done means defining and implementing agreed JSON/JSONB datatype and function or operator support, with the issue's scope resolved first.
