class JSON(sqltypes.TypeEngine):
    """Represent the Postgresql JSON type.

    The :class:`.JSON` type stores arbitrary JSON format data, e.g.::

        data_table = Table('data_table', metadata,
            Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
            Column('data', JSON)
        )

        with engine.connect() as conn:
            conn.execute(
                data_table.insert(),
                data = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
            )

    :class:`.JSON` provides several operations:

    * Index operations::

        data_table.c.data['some key']

    * Index operations returning text (required for text comparison or casting)::

        data_table.c.data.astext['some key'] == 'some value'

    * Path index operations::

        data_table.c.data[('key_1', 'key_2', ..., 'key_n')]

    * Path index operations returning text (required for text comparison or casting)::

        data_table.c.data.astext[('key_1', 'key_2', ..., 'key_n')] == 'some value'

    The :class:`.JSON` type, when used with the SQLAlchemy ORM, does not detect
    in-place mutations to the structure.  In order to detect these, the
    :mod:`sqlalchemy.ext.mutable` extension must be used.  This extension will
    allow "in-place" changes to the datastructure to produce events which
    will be detected by the unit of work.  See the example at :class:`.HSTORE`
    for a simple example involving a dictionary.

    Custom serializers and deserializers are specified at the dialect level,
    that is using :func:`.create_engine`.  The reason for this is that when
    using psycopg2, the DBAPI only allows serializers at the per-cursor
    or per-connection level.   E.g.::

        engine = create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test",
                                json_serializer=my_serialize_fn,
                                json_deserializer=my_deserialize_fn
                        )

    When using the psycopg2 dialect, the json_deserializer is registered
    against the database using ``psycopg2.extras.register_default_json``.
