SQL 2016 standards among other things contains set of SQL/JSON features for JSON processing inside of relational database. The core of SQL/JSON is JSON path language, allowing access parts of JSON documents and make computations over them. This commit implements partial support JSON path language as separate datatype called "jsonpath". The implementation is partial because it's lacking datetime support and suppression of numeric errors. Missing features will be added later by separate commits. Support of SQL/JSON features requires implementation of separate nodes, and it will be considered in subsequent patches. This commit includes following set of plain functions, allowing to execute jsonpath over jsonb values: * jsonb_path_exists(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]), * jsonb_path_match(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]), * jsonb_path_query(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]), * jsonb_path_query_array(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]). * jsonb_path_query_first(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]). This commit also implements "jsonb @? jsonpath" and "jsonb @@ jsonpath", which are wrappers over jsonpath_exists(jsonb, jsonpath) and jsonpath_predicate(jsonb, jsonpath) correspondingly. These operators will have an index support (implemented in subsequent patches). Catversion bumped, to add new functions and operators. Code was written by Nikita Glukhov and Teodor Sigaev, revised by me. Documentation was written by Oleg Bartunov and Liudmila Mantrova. The work was inspired by Oleg Bartunov.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system.
