how to store PostgreSQL jsonb using SpringBoot + JPA?

Question

I\'m working on a migration software that will consume unknown data from REST services.

I already think about use MongoDB but I decide to not use it and use PostgreSQL.<

Tried this but understood nothing!

To fully work with jsonb in Spring Data JPA (Hibernate) project with Vlad Mihalcea's hibernate-types lib you should just do the following:

1) Add this lib to your project:

    com.vladmihalcea
    hibernate-types-52
    2.2.2

2) Then use its types in your entities, for example:

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@Entity
@Table(name = "parents")
@TypeDef(name = "jsonb", typeClass = JsonBinaryType.class)
public class Parent implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = SEQUENCE)
    private Integer id;

    @Column(length = 32, nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @Type(type = "jsonb")
    @Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
    private List children;

    @Type(type = "jsonb")
    @Column(columnDefinition = "jsonb")
    private Bio bio;

    public Parent(String name, List children, Bio bio) {
        this.name = name;
        this.children = children;
        this.bio = bio;
    }
}

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class Child implements Serializable {
    private String name;
}

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class Bio implements Serializable {
    private String text;
}

Then you will be able to use, for example, a simple JpaRepository to work with your objects:

public interface ParentRepo extends JpaRepository {
}

parentRepo.save(new Parent(
                     "parent1", 
                     asList(new Child("child1"), new Child("child2")), 
                     new Bio("bio1")
                )
);

Parent result = parentRepo.findById(1);
List children = result.getChildren();
Bio bio = result.getBio();
