MySQL supports two aggregate JSON functions
JSON_ARRAYAGG() and
JSON_OBJECTAGG(). See
Section 14.19, “Aggregate Functions”, for
descriptions of these.
MySQL also supports “pretty-printing” of JSON values
in an easy-to-read format, using the
JSON_PRETTY() function. You can see
how much storage space a given JSON value takes up, and how much
space remains for additional storage, using
JSON_STORAGE_SIZE() and
JSON_STORAGE_FREE(), respectively.
For complete descriptions of these functions, see
Section 14.17.8, “JSON Utility Functions”.
