JSON_SERIALIZE function

The JSON_SERIALIZE function serializes a SUPER expression into textual JSON representation to follow RFC 8259. For more information on that RFC, see The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format.

The SUPER size limit is approximately the same as the block limit, and the VARCHAR limit is smaller than the SUPER size limit. Therefore, the JSON_SERIALIZE function returns an error when the JSON format exceeds the varchar limit of the system. To check the size of a SUPER expression, see the JSON_SIZE function.
