Semi-structured and Structured Data Functions¶

These functions are used with:

The functions are grouped by type of operation performed:

  • Parsing JSON and XML data.

  • Creating and manipulating ARRAYs and OBJECTs.

  • Extracting values from semi-structured and structured data (e.g. from an ARRAY, OBJECT, or MAP).

  • Converting/casting semi-structured data types and structured data types to/from other data types.

  • Determining the data type for values in semi-structured data (i.e. type predicates).
