A reusable Django model field for storing validated, ad-hoc JSON data with automatic serialization to and from the database. It is now deprecated in favor of Django's native models.JSONField introduced in Django 3.1.

Use cases

  • store json data in a django model
  • add a json field to django models on old django versions
  • serialize json to database column in django
  • store ad-hoc json payloads in django orm
  • migrate legacy jsonfield to django native jsonfield

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Django project (pre-3.1) that cannot use the native JSONField
  • you need a simple JSON column with basic text-style lookups and no advanced querying

When to avoid

  • you are on Django 3.1 or newer - use the built-in models.JSONField instead
  • you need JSON-specific querying like key-path lookups or containment operators
  • you are starting a new project
