Geometric Data Types have been in PostgreSQL for quite a while. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/datatype-geometric.html
JSON have been in PostgreSQL since 9.2 and it's functionality increases with each new version. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/datatype-json.html AFAIK, Most of the contributed modules have been changed into EXTENSIONs http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/extend-extensions.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/external-extensions.html Check the /share/contrib and /share/extension directories under the PostgreSQL main directory to see what is available for your version.
