Yes , you can definitely to it using JSON_EXTRACT() function in mysql.

lets take a table that contains JSON (table client_services here) :

+-----+-----------+--------------------------------------+
| id  | client_id | service_values                       |
+-----+-----------+------------+-------------------------+
| 100 |      1000 | { "quota": 1,"data_transfer":160000} |
| 101 |      1000 | { "quota": 2,"data_transfer":800000} |
| 102 |      1000 | { "quota": 3,"data_transfer":70000}  |
| 103 |      1001 | { "quota": 1,"data_transfer":97000}  |
| 104 |      1001 | { "quota": 2,"data_transfer":1760}   |
| 105 |      1002 | { "quota": 2,"data_transfer":1060}   |
+-----+-----------+--------------------------------------+

To Select each JSON fields , run this query :

SELECT 
    id, client_id, 
    json_extract(service_values, '$.quota') AS quota,
    json_extract(service_values, '$.data_transfer') AS data_transfer
FROM client_services;

So the output will be :

+-----+-----------+----------------------+
| id  | client_id | quota | data_transfer|
+-----+-----------+----------------------+
| 100 |      1000 |     1 |       160000 |
| 101 |      1000 |     2 |       800000 |
| 102 |      1000 |     3 |        70000 |
| 103 |      1001 |     1 |        97000 |
| 104 |      1001 |     2 |         1760 |
| 105 |      1002 |     2 |         1060 |
+-----+-----------+----------------------+

Hope this solves your problem!
