jsonfield is a reusable model field that allows you to store validated JSON, automatically handling serialization to and from the database. To use, add jsonfield.JSONField to one of your models. Note: django.contrib.postgres now supports PostgreSQL's jsonb type, which includes extended querying capabilities. If you're an end user of PostgreSQL and want full-featured JSON support, then it is recommended that you use the built-in JSONField. However, jsonfield is still useful when your app needs to be database-agnostic, or when the built-in JSONField's extended querying is not being leveraged. e.g., a configuration field. JSONField is not intended to provide extended querying capabilities. That said, you may perform the same basic lookups provided by regular text fields (e.g., exact or regex lookups). Since values are stored as serialized JSON, it is highly recommended that you test your queries to ensure the expected results are returned.
