Joe, those test cases look great and the outputs are the same as `jq`.

<link to info regarding escaping of forward slashes>

Forward slash escaping is optional, so not escaping them in Postgres is okay. The important thing is that the software _reading_ JSON interprets both '\/' and '/' as '/'.

Thanks for the review and info. I modified the existing regression test thus:

8<--------------------------
create temp table copyjsontest (
    id bigserial,
    f1 text,
    f2 timestamptz);

insert into copyjsontest
  select g.i,
         CASE WHEN g.i % 2 = 0 THEN
           'line with '' in it: ' || g.i::text
         ELSE
           'line with " in it: ' || g.i::text
         END,
         'Mon Feb 10 17:32:01 1997 PST'
  from generate_series(1,5) as g(i);

insert into copyjsontest (f1) values
(E'aaa\"bbb'::text),
(E'aaa\\bbb'::text),
(E'aaa\/bbb'::text),
(E'aaa\bbbb'::text),
(E'aaa\fbbb'::text),
(E'aaa\nbbb'::text),
(E'aaa\rbbb'::text),
(E'aaa\tbbb'::text);
copy copyjsontest to stdout json;
{"id":1,"f1":"line with \" in it: 1","f2":"1997-02-10T20:32:01-05:00"}
{"id":2,"f1":"line with ' in it: 2","f2":"1997-02-10T20:32:01-05:00"}
{"id":3,"f1":"line with \" in it: 3","f2":"1997-02-10T20:32:01-05:00"}
{"id":4,"f1":"line with ' in it: 4","f2":"1997-02-10T20:32:01-05:00"}
{"id":5,"f1":"line with \" in it: 5","f2":"1997-02-10T20:32:01-05:00"}
{"id":1,"f1":"aaa\"bbb","f2":null}
{"id":2,"f1":"aaa\\bbb","f2":null}
{"id":3,"f1":"aaa/bbb","f2":null}
{"id":4,"f1":"aaa\bbbb","f2":null}
{"id":5,"f1":"aaa\fbbb","f2":null}
{"id":6,"f1":"aaa\nbbb","f2":null}
{"id":7,"f1":"aaa\rbbb","f2":null}
{"id":8,"f1":"aaa\tbbb","f2":null}
8<--------------------------

I think the code, documentation, and tests are in pretty good shape at this point. Latest version attached.

Any other comments or complaints out there?

Add json format mode to COPY TO

Add json format mode support to COPY TO, which includes three output
variations: 1) "json lines" which is each row as a json object delimited
by newlines (the default); 2) "json lines", except include comma delimiters
between json objects; and 3) "json array" which is the same as #2, but with
the addition of a leading "[" and trailing "]" to form a valid json array.

Early versions: helpful hints/reviews provided by Nathan Bossart,
Tom Lane, and Maciek Sakrejda. Final versions: reviewed by Andrew Dunstan
and Davin Shearer.
