> why do we need a new function when we can already do this with json_object? Or am I missing something? @davidradl In many cases, JSON is generated by external systems and already exists in columns or nested fields. Many times this JSON needs to be wrapped into another JSON, for this the JSON_OBJECT function needs to know that a parameter is pre-formatted JSON. For this the SQL standard introduces a JSON data type and JSON function: see T802 [here](https://peter.eisentraut.org/blog/2023/04/04/sql-2023-is-finished-here-is-whats-new) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
