The JSON data type can be used similarly to other data types. For example, you can specify the JSON data type in these cases:
  • In table definitions
  • As parameters and return types for UDFs written in C, C++, or Java. This includes scalar and aggregate UDFs, table functions, and table operators.
  • As IN, INOUT, and OUT parameters of stored procedures and external stored procedures written in C, C++, or Java.
  • In local variable definitions in stored procedures.

When used as an input or output parameter, you can specify the JSON type with the STORAGE FORMAT specification to pass binary JSON data to an external routine.
