Support for JSON in Oracle 11g

Question

Does Oracle 11g support JSON? I mean stuff like manipulating JSON objects in PL/SQL Queries. I know Oralcle 12c has the support for these things but it seems 11g does not. <

Answer 1

If you install the latest APEX 5.0 which was released on April 15. You get access to a great API to work with JSON

I'm using it on 11.2 and have been able to crunch every single json, from simple to very complex objects with multiple arrays and 4/5 levels. APEX_JSON

If you do not want to use APEX. Simply install the runtime environment to get access to the API.

Answer 2

No, JSON support was introduced in Oracle database 12c release 2 (12.1.0.2)
