django-jsonfallback 1.0.0

JSONField from django.contrib.postgres, but with a fallback to TextField

This is an extension to django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField, that works on other databases than PostgreSQL. On these databases, it falls back to storing plain JSON content in a text field. It handles serialization and deserialization transparently for you, but advanced query features for JSON fields are only available on PostgreSQL.

We’d love to see this extended by using the django-mysql implementation on MySQL, but we lack the development capacity to do this. If you’d like to contribute, just get in touch!

Compatible with:

• Python 3.4 to 3.6

• Django 2.0 to 2.1

• SQlite, MySQL, PostgreSQL

Usage

Just use our drop-in replacement for JSONField:

from django.db import models
from jsonfallback.fields import FallbackJSONField


class Book(models.Model):
    data = FallbackJSONField()

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.data['title'])
