+-- ATTN: The whole json record has to be transferred before it is parsed,
+-- so if you only need a tiny bit of it, use `->` and `->>` in your SQL statement
+-- and return only the fields you need from the query.
+--
+-- In that case pay attention to NULL though:
+--
+-- @
+-- SELECT '{"foo": {}}'::jsonb->>'foo' IS NULL
+-- → TRUE
+-- @
+--
+-- Also note: `->>` will coerce the json value to @text@, regardless of the content.
+-- So the JSON object @{"foo": {}}"@ would be returned as the text: @"{\"foo\": {}}"@.
