How to Query a JSON Column in MySQL

-- Getting the params.name string value from events table
SELECT params->>'$.name'
FROM events;

-- Getting rows where the browser.name is Chrome
-- This also shows the difference of using -> vs ->>
-- Using -> will cause strings to be enclosed in quotes
SELECT browser->>'$.name', browser->'$.name'
FROM events
WHERE browser->>'$.name' = 'Chrome';

-- Give me the first index of a JSON array
SELECT properties->>'$.my_array[0]'
FROM events;

-- Going deeper to get the X resolution only
SELECT properties->'$.resolution.x'
FROM events;
