When trying to install using PGXN compilation fails with the following error:

@jmealo Yes, your observation is correct. With the new JSONB data type in PostgreSQL 9.4, json_fdw is certainly less applicable than it used to be.

We don't know at this stage whether we'll port it to PostgreSQL 9.5 once the official release comes out.

Do you have a specific use-case for json_fdw?

Best,
Ozgun

Hey @jmealo,

This project is retired and currently not recommended as a base for new consumers. If you're looking to query semi-structured data, please check the new JSON and JSONB data types built into PostgreSQL.
