There were quite a few places where we either had a non-NUL-terminated string or a text Datum which we needed to call escape_json() on. Many of these places required that a temporary string was created due to the fact that escape_json() needs a NUL-terminated cstring. For text types, those first had to be converted to cstring before calling escape_json() on them. Here we introduce two new functions to make escaping JSON more optimal: escape_json_text() can be given a text Datum to append onto the given buffer. This is more optimal as it foregoes the need to convert the text Datum into a cstring. A temporary allocation is only required if the text Datum needs to be detoasted. escape_json_with_len() can be used when the length of the cstring is already known or the given string isn't NUL-terminated. Having this allows various places which were creating a temporary NUL-terminated string to just call escape_json_with_len() without any temporary memory allocations.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
