While both classes share the same, thin client-side API, JsonB stores the data in a decomposed, binary format, whereas Json stores an exact copy of the RFC 7159 text.
This means that JsonB is slower to input, but faster to process as it avoids reparsing. Therefore, applications that utilize the structured state of a JSON value should prefer JsonB.
It also means that the JsonB stored representation does NOT preserve:
- white space,
- the order of object keys, or
- duplicate object keys.
Note: JsonB is only applicable to PostgreSQL databases (i.e., those created using DatabaseDialect::POSTGRESQL).
Constructors
JsonB(JsonB const &)
