It was created in 2010 to fill a gap when databases lacked native JSON support, but that landscape has changed significantly.\n\nThe package is now in maintenance-only mode and explicitly abandoned. Django 3.1 (released August 2020) introduced a native cross-database JSONField that supersedes this library. The maintainer recommends using either Django 3.1's built-in field, the django-jsonfield-backport package for older Django versions, or simply storing JSON in a TextField if you don't need database-level querying of JSON contents.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit June 2021, repository archived) and the maintainer explicitly recommends against using it on new projects. Use Django 3.1's native JSONField instead, or django-jsonfield-backport for older Django versions.
