class JSON(sqltypes.JSON):

View In Hierarchy

MySQL JSON type.

MySQL supports JSON as of version 5.7. MariaDB supports JSON (as an alias for LONGTEXT) as of version 10.2.

_mysql.JSON is used automatically whenever the base _types.JSON datatype is used against a MySQL or MariaDB backend.

See Also

_types.JSON - main documentation for the generic cross-platform JSON datatype.

The .mysql.JSON type supports persistence of JSON values as well as the core index operations provided by _types.JSON datatype, by adapting the operations to render the JSON_EXTRACT function at the database level.

New in version 1.1.

Method as​_generic Return an instance of the generic type corresponding to this type using heuristic rule. The method may be overridden if this heuristic rule is not sufficient.
Method bind​_expression Given a bind value (i.e. a .BindParameter instance), return a SQL expression in its place.
Method coerce​_compared​_value Suggest a type for a 'coerced' Python value in an expression.
Method column​_expression Given a SELECT column expression, return a wrapping SQL expression.

Method compare​_values Compare two values for equality.
Method compile Produce a string-compiled form of this .TypeEngine.
Method dialect​_impl Return a dialect-specific implementation for this .TypeEngine.
Method evaluates​_none Return a copy of this type which has the .should_evaluate_none flag set to True.
Method get​_dbapi​_type Return the corresponding type object from the underlying DB-API, if any.
Method literal​_processor Return a conversion function for processing literal values that are to be rendered directly without using binds.
Method with​_variant Produce a new type object that will utilize the given type when applied to the dialect of the given name.
Class Variable sort​_key​_function A sorting function that can be passed as the key to sorted.
Static Method ​_to​_instance Undocumented

Method __str__ Undocumented
Method ​_cached​_bind​_processor Return a dialect-specific bind processor for this type.
Method ​_cached​_custom​_processor Undocumented

Method ​_cached​_result​_processor Return a dialect-specific result processor for this type.
Method ​_compare​_type​_affinity Undocumented
Method ​_default​_dialect Undocumented
Method ​_dialect​_info Return a dialect-specific registry which caches a dialect-specific implementation, bind processing function, and one or more result processing functions.
Method ​_gen​_dialect​_impl Undocumented
Method ​_resolve​_for​_literal adjust this type given a literal Python value that will be stored in a bound parameter.
Method ​_unwrapped​_dialect​_impl Return the 'unwrapped' dialect impl for this type.
Method copy Undocumented
Method copy​_value Undocumented
Class Variable ​_is​_array Undocumented

Property ​_static​_cache​_key Undocumented
Property ​_type​_affinity Return a rudimental 'affinity' value expressing the general class of type.
