title: Using & Searching through jsonb data in mysql
body: <p>We previously had PostgreSQL database setup and were using JSONB to hold some of our data in json since we need to keep one of our columns data dynamic in nature based on whatever JSON we could store in it. We could also perform textual search and comparison through the JSON keys and values and it all worked well.</p>
  
  <p>Recently due to some technical reasons our team decided to move to MySQL. So my question is does JSON in MySQL support the search like PostgreSQL does and also how stable JSON in MySQL support is given it got introduced in versions >= MySQL 5.7.8, MySQL. </p>
